ACTION: Notice. AGENCY: Overview Information: Indian Education—Professional Development Grants Program Notice inviting applications for new awards for fiscal year (FY) 2012. Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) Number: 84.299B. DATES: Applications Available: February 7, 2012. Deadline for Transmittal of Applications: March 8, 2012. Deadline for Intergovernmental Review: May 7, 2012. tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES Full Text of Announcement I. Funding Opportunity Description Purpose of Program: The purposes of the Indian Education Professional Development Grants program are to (1) increase the number of qualified Indian individuals in professions that serve Indians; (2) provide training to qualified Indian individuals to become teachers, administrators, teacher aides, social workers, and ancillary educational personnel; and (3) improve the skills of qualified Indian individuals who serve in the education field. Activities may include, but are not limited to, continuing education programs, symposia, workshops, conferences, and direct financial support. Priorities: This competition contains three absolute priorities and two competitive preference priorities. Background: On November 5, 2009, President Obama signed a memorandum requiring Federal agencies to conduct consultations with tribal officials when developing policies that have implications for tribal communities. In response to the President’s memorandum, the U.S. Department of Education (Department) conducted six consultations with tribal officials during FY 2010. During these consultations, the Department received numerous comments regarding teacher recruitment and retention. Specifically, these comments described difficulties that local educational agencies (LEAs) VerDate Mar<15>2010 17:34 Feb 06, 2012 Jkt 226001 located on or near tribally controlled lands—which typically operate highneed schools—face in attracting and retaining highly qualified teachers due to their remote location and other factors. The Indian Education Professional Development Grants program can help address these difficulties. For FY 2012 the Secretary adds a new absolute priority, Enabling More DataBased Decision-Making. This priority will support projects that provide the data that grantees need, and the capacity and training to use those data to inform professional development practices and approaches and to make informed decisions that increase program effectiveness. For questions and assistance about this priority, contact the person listed under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT in section VII in this notice. Absolute Priorities: The absolute priorities are from the notice of final supplemental priorities and definitions for discretionary grant programs, published in the Federal Register on December 15, 2010 (75 FR 78486), and corrected on May 12, 2011 (76 FR 27637), and, in accordance with 34 CFR 75.105(b)(2)(ii), from the regulations for this program (34 CFR 263.5(c)). For FY 2012 and any subsequent year in which we make awards from the list of unfunded applicants from this competition, these priorities are absolute priorities. Under 34 CFR 75.105(c)(3), we consider only applications that meet absolute priority 1 and one or both of absolute priorities 2 and 3. These priorities are: Absolute Priority 1: Enabling More DataBased Decision-Making Projects that are designed to collect (or obtain), analyze, and use highquality and timely data, including data on program participant outcomes, in accordance with privacy requirements (as defined in this notice), in the following priority area: Improving postsecondary student outcomes relating to enrollment, persistence, and completion and leading to career success. Absolute Priority 2: Pre-Service Training for Teachers Projects that provide support and training to Indian individuals to complete a pre-service education program that enables these individuals to meet the requirements for full State certification or licensure as a teacher through— PO 00000 Frm 00042 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 (i)(A) Training that leads to a bachelor’s degree in education before the end of the award period; or (B) For States allowing a degree in a specific subject area, training that leads to a bachelor’s degree in the subject area as long as the training meets the requirements for full State teacher certification or licensure; or (C) Training in a current or new specialized teaching assignment that requires at least a bachelor’s degree and in which a documented teacher shortage exists; and (ii) One-year induction services after graduation, certification, or licensure, provided during the award period to graduates of the pre-service program while they are completing their first year of work in schools with significant Indian populations. Note: In working with various institutions of higher education and reviewing State certification and licensure requirements, we have found that States allowing a candidate for teacher certification to obtain a degree in a specific subject area (e.g., in a specialty area or in teaching at the secondary level) generally require a master’s degree or fifth year of study before an individual can be certified or licensed as a teacher. These students would be eligible to participate so long as their training meets the requirements for full State certification or licensure as a teacher. Absolute Priority 3: Pre-Service Administrator Training A project that provides— (1) Support and training to Indian individuals to complete a master’s degree in education administration that is provided before the end of the award period and that allows participants to meet the requirements for State certification or licensure as an education administrator; and (2) One year of induction services, during the award period, to participants after graduation, certification, or licensure, while they are completing their first year of work as administrators in schools with significant Indian student populations. Competitive Preference Priorities: In accordance with 34 CFR 75.105(b)(2)(ii) and (iv), the competitive preference priorities are from the regulations for this program (34 CFR 263.5(a) and (b)). For FY 2012 and any subsequent year in which we make awards from the list of unfunded applicants from this competition, these priorities are competitive preference priorities. Under 34 CFR 75.105(c)(2)(i) we award up to an additional 10 points to an application, depending on how well the application meets one or both of these priorities. E:\FR\FM\07FEN1.SGM 07FEN1
