What is the purpose of the ESEA Title II Higher Education Grants program?
In Wisconsin, the University of Wisconsin System administers a portion of the Title II, Part A funds to make competitive subgrants to eligible partnerships comprised of at least institutions of higher education and high-need LEAs. The partnerships use the funds to conduct professional development activities in core academic subjects in order to ensure that highly qualified teachers, paraprofessionals, and (if appropriate) principals have subject matter knowledge in the academic subjects they teach, or in computer-related technology to enhance instruction. The University of Wisconsin System works in conjunction with the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction.
