Grants and Funding Sources

| Title II Grants: Preparing, Training and Recruiting High Quality Teachers and Principals |

| Title III Grants: Language Instruction For Limited English Proficient And Immigrant Students |

Provides federal funding for ELL programs. With the added measures of accountability in the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 and the quicker transitioning of ELLs to mainstream classrooms, instructional materials for ELLs-both basic textbooks and supplementary materials-have become that much more important to raise achievement and to assist teachers in making all students successful.
Funds are available for school districts to provide high quality language instruction programs that are based on scientifically based research, and that have demonstrated that they are effective in increasing English proficiency and student achievement.
