The Secretary of Education is authorized to make grants to institutions of higher education, on a competitive basis, to assist such institutions in developing and implementing programs to train elementary and secondary school teachers in methods for instructing students in civics and history. As part of the application required under section 102(b), an institution of higher education shall include a proposal demonstrating that the institution— has the ability to train elementary and secondary school teachers to provide comprehensive civics education; is familiar with research on practices that are proven to contribute to effective instruction in civics and history and will incorporate such research into the training provided to teachers using the grant; and will use the grant to make training in civics education available to elementary and secondary school teachers in the State or geographic region served by the institution.
In awarding grants under this section, the Secretary shall give priority to institutions of higher education that propose to use the grant to carry out training programs for teachers that— address the specific needs of teachers working with traditionally underserved students; and incorporate evidence-based practices for improving the ability of teachers to provide effective instruction in civics and history. From the amounts made available to carry out this section, 35 percent shall be reserved to award grants, on a competitive basis, to institutions of higher education that are eligible to receive funds under— part A or part B of title III of the Higher Education Act of 1965 ( 20 U.S.C. 1057 et seq. , 1060 et seq.); part A or part B of title V of such Act ( 20 U.S.C. 1101 et seq. , 1102 et seq.); or subpart 4 of part A of title VII of such Act ( 20 U.S.C. 1136a et seq. ).
