America"s 250th anniversary is a particularly appropriate time to promote innovative teaching and learning that unites our country, honors our history, promotes informed citizenship, and cherishes our freedom as we build the golden age of opportunity. ED encourages applications to include strong partnerships and active collaboration between eligible entities, local educational agencies, and State educational agencies in their design and proposed implementation. Project activities should reflect the best available research and practice in teaching and learning.
