Improving Teacher Quality State Grants
For the 2013-2014 grant period, the Minnesota Office of Higher Education has received $906,015 in federal funds to support continuation awards for 17 inservice programs for K-12 educators that improve the effectiveness of classroom instruction and the distribution of highly qualified teachers. Continuation grants were awarded for 16 projects, and under a new competition, one first-time award was made specifically to address the student-achievement gap in mathematics.
These grants were awarded to partnerships comprised of, at a minimum, an accredited Minnesota private or public higher education institution and the division of the institution that prepares teachers, a school of arts and sciences within the higher education institution, and a high need Local Education Agency (school district).
See descriptions of the 17 projects funded for the current grant period.
