Teach for America, the nonprofit
group that recruits elite college
students to teach in public schools,
and the KIPP Foundation, which
runs a nationwide network of charter
schools, were big winners in a
$650 million federal grant competition
known as Investing in Innovation,
the Department of Education said
Wednesday.
Each group won $50 million.
Two others won large awards for
proposals the department said were
backed by significant evidence of
success with students.
The Success for All Foundation,
a Baltimore group that helps to turn
around struggling elementary schools,
won $49 million. And Ohio State
University, partnered with several
other universities, was awarded $46
million to train some 3,750 teachers
in the Reading Recovery approach,
which focuses on struggling first-grade
students.
The department awarded the remaining
$455 million in smaller amounts to
45 other nonprofit groups and school
districts. About 1,700 groups
applied for grants, the department said.
Congress financed the innovation
grant competition in last year's
economic stimulus, along with the
larger, better-known, $4.2 billion
competition known as Race to the Top,
in which states have put forward
proposals for shaking up their school
systems.
The innovation competition, in
contrast, was open to nonprofit
organizations and local school
districts.
The $650 million was given out in
awards of three levels. The four
largest awards of nearly $50 million
each went to groups proposing to
greatly expand programs, like Teach
for America and the KIPP charters,
that the department viewed has having
been proved successful.
Fifteen second-tier awards of up
to $30 million each went to groups
with somewhat less-established programs,
hoping to solidify their track
record and expand. The winners of
these so-called validation awards
included the Smithsonian Institution,
which won about $26 million for a
proposal to advance inquiry oriented
science education in hundreds of
school districts, and Johns Hopkins
University, which was given $30 million
to advance its work in overhauling
high schools with such dismal graduation
rates that the university has identified
them as dropout factories.
