U.S. Dept. of Ed.: Teaching American History Grants

The Teaching American History Grant Program supports projects that raise student achievement by improving teachers’ knowledge, understanding, and appreciation of traditional American history.  Awards help districts to develop, implement, document, evaluate, and disseminate innovative, cohesive models of professional development, in partnership with entities that have extensive content expertise (colleges and universities, history and humanities organizations, and libraries and museums). Eligibility: Local educational agencies (LEAs)–including charter schools that are considered LEAs under State law and regulations–working in partnership with one or more of the following entities: institutions of higher education (IHEs); non-profit history or humanities organizations; and libraries and museums. Average award: $500,000.  Deadline: March 9, 2009.
