Description of Fund
The Teacher Quality Partnership (TQP) Grants Program provides $100 million in competitive grants to improve the quality of new teachers by creating partnerships among IHEs, high-need local educational agencies (LEAs) their high-need schools, and/or high-need early childhood education (ECE) program. These partnerships would create model teacher preparation programs at the pre-baccalaureate level through the implementation of specific reforms of the IHE’s existing teacher preparation programs, and/or model teaching residency programs for individuals with strong academic and/or professional backgrounds but without teaching experience. The TQP Grants Program may also support school leadership programs to train superintendents, principals, ECE program directors, and other school leaders in high-need or rural LEAs.
Who is eligible?
An eligible applicant must be an “eligible partnership” as defined in section 200(6) of the HEA. The fiscal agent of the grant must be one of the required partners in the eligible partnership, as described in section 200 of the HEA. Each eligible partnership must include a high-need LEA, a high-need school or consortium of high-need schools served by the high-need LEA, or as applicable, a high-need ECE program, a partner institution, a school, department, or program of education within such partner institution, which may include an existing teacher professional development program with proven outcomes within a four-year IHE that provides intensive and sustained collaboration between faculty and LEAs consistent with the requirements of Title II of the HEA and a school or department of arts and sciences within such partner institution.
