Sec. 611.13  What competitive preference does the Secretary provide?



    The Secretary provides a competitive preference on the basis of how 

well the State's proposed activities in any one or more of the following 

statutory priorities are likely to yield successful and sustained 

results:

    (a) Initiatives to reform State teacher licensure and certification 

requirements so that current and future teachers possess strong teaching 

skills and academic content knowledge in the subject areas in which they 

will be certified or licensed to teach.

    (b) Innovative reforms to hold higher education institutions with 

teacher preparation programs accountable for preparing teachers who are 

highly competent in the academic content areas and have strong teaching 

skills.

    (c) Innovative efforts to reduce the shortage (including the high 

turnover) of highly competent teachers in high-poverty urban and rural 

areas.
