Overview
Continuing Professional Education Workshops
Review of 2008 Activities
Authority for the administration of Title II, Part A funds, as well as the identification and evaluation of grant proposals, resides with each state. In Oklahoma, the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education have been authorized to receive and distribute the federal funds that are appropriated for use by institutions of higher education in partnership with local education agencies. The chancellor for higher education acts on behalf of the State Regents for the solicitation and selection of grant proposals.
The partnerships will use the funds to conduct professional development activities in core academic subjects to ensure that teachers, highly qualified paraprofessionals and (if appropriate) principals have subject-matter knowledge in the academic subjects they teach, including computer-related technology to enhance instruction.
