Sec. 426.22  What selection criteria does the Secretary use for the 

Program for Model Consumer and Homemaking Education Projects?



    (a) The Secretary uses the following criteria to evaluate an 

application for a model consumer and homemaking education project:

    (1) Program factors. (10 points) The Secretary reviews the quality 

of the proposed project to assess the extent to which project activities 

will improve, expand, and update programs that will--

    (i) Be conducted for residents of economically depressed areas or 

areas with high rates of unemployment;

    (ii) Encourage participation of traditionally underserved 

populations;

    (iii) Encourage the elimination of sex bias and sex stereotyping; 

and

    (iv) Address priorities and emerging concerns at the local, State, 

and national levels, such as the articulation of secondary and 

postsecondary consumer and homemaking education programs and the 

integration of basic skills in consumer and homemaking education 

programs.

    (2) Demonstration program design. (10 points) The Secretary reviews 

each application to determine the extent to which the applicant--

    (i) Bases the proposed consumer and homemaking education project on 

successful model education programs that include components similar to 

the components required by this program, as evidenced by empirical data 

from those programs in such factors as--

    (A) Student performance and achievement;

    (B) Placement of students in jobs, including the preparation of 

students for the occupation of homemaking; and

    (C) Successful transfer of students to a wide variety of 

postsecondary educational programs;

    (ii) Proposes project objectives that contribute to the improvement 

of consumer and homemaking education; and

    (iii) Proposes to use unique and innovative techniques to produce 

benefits that address educational problems and needs that are of 

national significance.

    (b) The Secretary also uses the criteria and points in Sec. 426.21 

(c) through (h) to evaluate an application.
