Title II, Part A: Supporting Effective Instruction
Title II, Part A: Supporting Effective Instruction
Title II, Part A provides resources to local educational agencies (LEA) to support activities for recruitment, development and retention of teachers, principals and other school leaders. Funds cannot be used for students or classroom support. LEAs receive an allocation based on enrollment and poverty data. Private schools and charter schools are eligible to receive an equitable portion of the host LEA's allocation for Title II, Part A services. The purpose of Title II, Part A is to provide grants to State educational agencies and subgrants to local educational agencies to –
- Increase student achievement consistent with the challenging State academic standards;
- Improve the quality and effectiveness of teachers, principals and other school leaders;
- Increase the number of teachers, principals, and other school leaders who are effective in improving student academic achievement in schools; and
- Provide low-income and minority students greater access to effective teachers, principals and other school leaders.
Title II, Part A State-Level Activities Input Survey
The Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 (ESEA), as amended by the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA), provides funds to states and local educational agencies (LEAs) to improve the quality of their teachers, principals and other school leaders and raise student achievement. States and LEAs receive these funds under Title II, Part A of the ESEA (Supporting Effective Instruction Grants).
The Florida Department of Education (FDOE) meets regularly with various stakeholder groups to inform decision-making on the use of state-level Title II, Part A funds. This survey serves as an additional mechanism through which to collect valuable stakeholder feedback to support ongoing updates and improvements to Title II, Part A state-level activities.
Please note that survey data will be reviewed and analyzed on a regular cycle.
