Sec. 611.24  What additional selection criteria are used for a full 

application that proposes teacher recruitment activities?



    In reviewing full 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. 611.23(a) 

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

the project reflects--

    (1) A commitment to recruit, support and prepare additional well-

qualified new teachers for high-need schools;

    (2) Appropriate academic and student support services; and

    (3) A comprehensive strategy for addressing shortages of well-

qualified and well-trained teachers in high-need LEAs, especially 

teachers from disadvantaged and other underrepresented backgrounds.

    (b) In addition to the elements contained in Sec. 611.23(b) 

(Significance of project activities), the Secretary considers the extent 

to which the project promotes the recruitment, scholarship assistance, 

preparation, and support of additional cohorts of new teachers.

    (c) In addition to the elements contained in Sec. 611.23(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.
