NARRATIVE SECTION
For Federal Programs - General Education Provisions Act (GEPA)
In accordance with the requirements of Section 427 of the General Education Provisions Act
(GEPA) Public Law 103-382, applicants for Federal funding are expected to provide a concise
description of the steps proposed to ensure equitable access to, and participation of students,
teachers, and other program beneficiaries with special needs.
This provision allows applicants
discretion in developing the required description. The statute highlights six types of barriers that can
impede equitable access or participation: gender, race, national origin, color, disability, or age. Based
on local circumstances, you should determine whether these or other barriers may prevent your
students, teachers, etc. from such access or participation in, the Federally-funded project or activity.
The description in your application of steps to be taken to overcome these barriers need not be lengthy;
you may provide a clear and succinct description of how you plan to address those barriers that are
applicable to your circumstances. The information may be provided in a single narrative, or, if
appropriate, may be discussed in connection with related topics in the application. Section 427 is not
intended to duplicate the requirements of civil rights statutes, but rather to ensure that, in designing
their projects, applicants for Federal funds address equity concerns that may affect the ability of certain
potential beneficiaries to fully participate in the project and to achieve to high standards. Consistent
with program requirements and its approved application, an applicant may use the Federal funds
awarded to it to eliminate barriers it identifies.

ENHANCING EDUCATION THROUGH TECHNOLOGY (EETT)
PROGRAM OVERVIEW
[Reference NCLB:EETT Title II, Part D, Subpart 1, SEC. 2414 Local Applications & SEC. 2416 Local Activities]
http://www.ed.gov/policy/elsec/leg/esea02/pg35.html
Florida’s Enhancing Education Through Technology Grant Program
is designed to close the digital
divide and ensure that all students have equitable access to modern technology-based learning tools
and quality educational content. Providing focused opportunities for teachers to develop technology
integration skills essential for effective teaching in
21
st
Century
classrooms is a key
(http://www.21stcenturyskills.org/). The program targets schools with critical technology resource and
training needs and requires participants to outline specific instructional challenges and objectives.
Projects funded through the EETT program support specific priorities, initiatives, and
Strategic
Imperatives
of the Department of Education (such as
Just Read, Florida!
,
School Improvement
, and the
Sunshine State Standards
).
The program typically funds about one hundred twenty (120) individual projects each year and almost
every district in the State seeks support through the program on a regular basis. Fifty percent (50%) of
available funding is provided to school districts through formula-based entitlement allocations and the
other 50% is distributed through an annual competition. Participation in the competition has been very
strong each year of the program, which indicates a significant need for the type of support provided. In
the most recent 2004 competition, the total request for funding exceeded thirty-six million dollars.
Funds were available to support fifty-one (51) of the one hundred twenty-eight (128) proposals
accepted for evaluation. Many of the proposals that could not be funded were strong projects that were
very worthy of support.
Significant evidence that the program has a positive impact on student achievement can be seen in final
project evaluation reports submitted by participating school districts.
TITLE II-D PROGRAM GOALS
The EETT Grant Program is designed to support achievement of the following broad federal
program goals:
¾
Improve student academic achievement through the use of technology in elementary and secondary
schools.
¾
To assist every student in crossing the digital divide by ensuring that every student is
technologically literate by the time the student finishes the eighth grade, regardless of the student's
race, ethnicity, gender, family income, geographic location, or disability.
¾
To encourage the effective integration of technology resources and systems with teacher training
and curriculum development to establish research-based instructional methods that can be widely
implemented as best practices by state educational agencies and local educational agencies.
EETT ATTACHMENT A
SPECIFIC PROGRAM PURPOSES
To support the development and implementation of comprehensive educational technology
programs within Florida that will be effective in improving student academic achievement.
To encourage the establishment or expansion of initiatives (including public-private
partnerships) which are designed to increase access to technology, particularly in high-need
schools.
Enhancing access to modern instructional technologies, online training resources, quality
educational content, and standards-based assessment systems for teachers and students
(particularly disadvantaged students) through improved system interconnections and more
robust connectivity linkages.
To promote the incorporation of high-quality professional development programs, exemplary
practices, and research-based methods that can help teachers and school personnel fully
integrate technology into curricula and instruction.
Adapting or expanding applications of technology to support distance learning and the delivery
of rigorous academic courses and curricula to students in geographically isolated regions of the
State (or impoverished areas with limited educational opportunities for students).
To support rigorous program evaluation and the development of effective performance
measurement systems associated with EETT initiatives, particularly regarding the impact of
projects on student academic achievement.
Using technology to promote parental involvement and foster better communication among
students, parents, teachers, and administrators concerning curricula, assignments, and
assessments.
PROGRAM EXPECTATIONS
All program participants are expected to work towards achieving key goals established within
the NCLB:Title II (Part D) legislation.
Florida’s educational leadership believes that full and
appropriate integration of technology into curricula and instruction will enable teachers to address
Florida’s
Sunshine State Standards
in more effective ways than traditional “chalk and talk” teaching
methods. Proven research-based teaching methods, equitable access to quality educational content for
all students, and teachers prepared to teach in the
21
st
Century
will result in higher student achievement
as measured by the
Florida Comprehensive Assessment Test (FCAT)
.
Projects funded under the EETT initiative must support one or more of the specific program
purposes prescribed within Title II (Part D) of the No Child Left Behind (NCLB) Act. Alignment
with Florida State Board of Education K-20 Goals and
Strategic Imperatives
is also expected
(http://www.fldoe.org/communications/setting_sites.asp). Projects supported by the program are
required to include technology-enhanced learning activities designed to help students develop
strong reading skills.
Information and links concerning the Department of Education’s primary
reading improvement
initiative may be found at the following website
(http://www.justreadflorida.com/contact.asp).
EETT ATTACHMENT A
To help ensure effective implementation of the program, participants are expected to develop
and maintain accountability measures and tracking procedures that will be used to evaluate the
extent to which funded activities have: (1) improved technology integration within curricula and
instruction; (2) increased the ability of teachers to teach; and (3) enabled students to achieve
Florida’s
Sunshine State Standards
.
Local Education Agencies (LEA’s) receiving Title II (Part D) funding are expected to maintain a
current long-range strategic technology plan. District technology plans must be consistent with
the goals and/or strategic objectives identified within
Florida’s Instructional Technology Plan
Strategic Objectives
. Ongoing review and monitoring of the LEA’s local technology plan is
expected of each program participant.
District technology plans must address program planning
expectations in a detailed and comprehensive manner. This program directive is intended to support
improvements in instructional technology program planning and coordination at all levels. The
Department of Education (Office of Instructional Technology) is committed to supporting school
districts as they work to strengthen the local technology planning process. Technology plan
development assistance and plan review services are provided to program participants on an ongoing
basis. District technology plan compliance reviews are conducted using the most current planning
documents on file in the DOE Instructional Technology Office. It is essential that Department staff
have access to an up-to-date local technology plan for each EETT participant. Agency technology plan
approval letters are issued upon completion of the internal plan review process. If local technology
plan deficiencies are identified, plan revisions must be addressed in a timely manner by program
participants. Current district technology plan content expectations, perspectives, and submission
procedures are posted at the following Department of Education Instructional Technology Office
website:
http://www.doe.firn.edu/edtech/it/tp/index.html.
Florida’s Instructional Technology Plan
Strategic Objectives
provide direction to school districts concerning national and State standards,
targeted resource development initiatives, technical assistance options, and dissemination of research-
based technology integration professional development models
(http://www.doe.firn.edu/edtech/it/eett/objectives.html). Promoting effective strategic instructional
technology planning at both the state and local levels is a cornerstone of the EETT Grant Program. In
addition to NCLB Title II (Part D) legislative requirements, the
National Educational Technology
Plan
provides current direction to states participating in the EETT program. The plan is available on
the following Internet website: http://www.nationaledtechplan.org/
TITLE II, PART D FUNDING AND APPLICATION PROCESS
The associated Request for Application (RFA) documents the procedures necessary to seek Title
II, Part D entitlement funding. This formula-based component of the program is identified as
EETT Part I.
EETT Part II
is used to identify the competitive component of the program, which will
be administered through a separate Request for Proposals (RFP) for the 2005-06 program year.
Approximately $21.6 million is projected to be available to eligible school districts for the 2005-06
fiscal year. Approximately $10.8 million is expected to be available under the entitlement component
of the program. An equal amount will be available to eligible school districts under the competitive
component of the program. EETT entitlement allocations are based on Title I, Part A proportions.
Participants in the program are encouraged to use all grant funds (formula and competitive) in a
coordinated and complementary manner in order to achieve the ambitious long-term goals of the
program.
EETT ATTACHMENT A
Completion of all information requirements within the EETT Part I RFA will be necessary to
receive entitlement funding though a program-specific application.
School districts seeking
EETT entitlement funding through a consolidated application will need to address requirements
prescribed for that application option. Application procedures and content requirements are different
for that alternative method, however EETT program goals, specific program purposes, technology
planning expectations, and Title II (Part D) legislative requirements are identical for all program
participants.
The
2005-06 EETT Part I RFA
