Sec. 611.12  What additional selection criteria are used for an 

application proposing teacher recruitment activities?



    In reviewing applications that propose to undertake teacher 

recruitment activities, the Secretary also considers the following 

selection criteria:

    (a) In addition to the elements contained in Sec. 611.11(a) 

(Quality of project design), the Secretary considers the extent to which 

the project addresses--

    (1) Systemic changes in the ways that new teachers are to be 

recruited, supported and prepared; and

    (2) Systemic efforts to recruit, support, and prepare prospective 

teachers from disadvantaged and other underrepresented backgrounds.

    (b) In addition to the elements contained in Sec. 611.11(b) 

(Significance), the Secretary considers the applicant's commitment to 

continue recruitment activities, scholarship assistance, and preparation 

and support of additional cohorts of new teachers after funding under 

this part ends.

    (c) In addition to the elements contained in Sec. 611.11(c) 

(Quality of resources), the Secretary considers the impact of the 

project on high-need LEAs and high-need schools based upon--

    (1) The amount of scholarship assistance the project will provide 

students from federal and non-federal funds;

    (2) The number of students who will receive scholarships; and

    (3) How those students receiving scholarships will benefit from 

high-quality teacher preparation and an effective support system during 

their first three years of teaching.
