WISCONSIN ELEMENTARY AND SECONDARY EDUCATION ACT (ESEA) IMPROVING TEACHER QUALITY HIGHER EDUCATION PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM

The University of Wisconsin System seeks proposals aimed at increasing student achievement in the arts, civics/government, economics, English, foreign languages, geography, history, mathematics, language arts, and science, by improving the teaching and principal quality at the K-12 level in Wisconsin's public and private schools.

Priorities for the 2008 competition are improvement in student achievement in reading/language arts, mathematics, and science, and increasing the quality of teaching in all core subjects. Special consideration will be given to a proposal that uses lesson study or the teaching of techniques designed to help ALL students achieve high standards. Special considerations will also be given to a proposal that involves pre-service teachers and attempts to change the preparation program so they are able to teach in ways different from how they were taught. Pre-service teachers may be participants in the project if it is a school-based teacher training program that provides prospective teachers and beginning teachers with an opportunity to work under the guidance of experienced teachers and college faculty.

DEADLINE: 01 OCTOBER 2008
