2 Introduction The Enhancing Supports for Students in Poverty Grant provides single districts and partnerships of multiple districts with funds to build educator capacity to accelerate improvements in teaching, learning, and achievement for students in poverty. This grant opportunity builds on the ESEsponsored Teaching with Poverty in Mind workshop held on November 23 and 24, The purpose of this grant program is to deepen, extend and disseminate understanding, strategies and implementation of supports for economically disadvantaged students. Grant recipients may be invited to present their work at the 2016 ESE Fall Convening. Here are some examples of strategies that districts may support with these grant funds: Extend learning to additional educators within districts represented at the poverty workshop Share learning across districts through presentations by workshop participants, professional learning groups focused on teaching students in poverty, and/or book studies focused on teaching students in poverty Create and pilot an original Reusable Learning Object (RLO) 1 to be shared with the Department and made publically available Districts are required to: Develop and disseminate specific supports for economically disadvantaged students with disabilities Further district and school goals related to the Low Income Education Access Project (LEAP) initiative (LEAP districts only) Share with the MA Department of Elementary and Secondary Education any products developed through this grant. Product may be made publically available. The goals and objectives of these and other grant supported strategies are to accelerate improvements in teaching, learning, and achievement for students in poverty. Please contact David Parker Dparker@doe.mass.edu for further information about creating a Reusable Learning Object. RLOs may be based upon the learning from the November workshop, or may address a specific need of participating schools and districts. RLOs could address: Impacts of poverty on learning Stress factors associated with poverty The role of emotions in teaching and learning Engagement Rules for students in poverty Building relationships for successful teaching and learning. These topics are illustrative, not exhaustive. Additional topics and ideas are welcome. If you have identified a need in your district or your region, this may be an opportunity to develop a resource to respond to that need. Resources developed through the grant are expected to be made public. 1 Reusable Learning Objects (RLOs) are based on a new way of thinking about learning and provide a digital educational resource that can be reused, scaled and shared from a central online repository in the support of instruction and learning. Each RLO supports a single learning objective. They vary in size, scope and level of granularity ranging from small chunks of instruction to a series of combined resources to provide a more complex learning experience.

THE GRANT PLANNING PROCESS The Enhancing Supports for Students in Poverty Grant is a resource provided to districts committed to improving teaching and learning for students in poverty. Eligibility to apply for the grant is as follows: Level 3, 4 and 5 districts working with the Low Income Education Access Project (LEAP) may apply as single districts or in partnership with other districts; Level 2 districts working with the LEAP initiative may apply only in partnership with any Level 3, 4 or 5 district; Level 3, 4 or 5 districts NOT working with the LEAP initiative may only apply in partnership with a district that IS working with the LEAP initiative. All applications must include a district that is working with the LEAP initiative and a Level 3, 4 or 5 district. (In some instances, the same district may meet both of these criteria.) Fund Use Narrative Instructions Page 3 of 10
4 A district may be included in only one application. It may not be included in multiple grant proposals. Districts are strongly encouraged to work collaboratively with their DSAC Regional Assistance Directors and other DSAC team members, or with their Office of District and School Turnaround Liaison to develop their plans for forming partnerships and for using Enhancing Supports for Students in Poverty grant funds. How your DSAC team or ODST Liaison can help. DSAC Team members and ODST Liaisons are available to act as strategic thought partners as you develop your plans, and assist you with: Identifying key areas of need related to students in poverty; Developing plans consistent with identified needs that address district and school improvement goals related to teaching students in poverty; Making connections with potential partner districts; Creating effective plans for monitoring implementation; Identifying indicators and benchmarks for measuring early indicators of change and short term outcomes; Developing plans to collect information on indicators and benchmarks. Assistance with your grant application will be customized to your specific needs. GENERAL GUIDELINES FOR PREPARING YOUR GRANT NARRATIVE: THE PART III: PLANS FOR GRANT FUND USE Once a district or partnership s plans for using grant funds are in place, the 323-P/295 Part III Enhancing Supports for Students in Poverty Grant Narrative Form (the grant narrative) and accompanying budget workbooks must be completed. Only ONE Part III Narrative needs to be submitted on behalf of the partnership, accompanied by separate budget workbooks for each participating district. The lead partnership district will gather budget workbooks and copies of signed cover pages from all participating districts and submit them all together. What we are for looking for in this part of your district s grant application is evidence that you: used a reflective, evidence-based process to identify and prioritize needs related to students in poverty; developed thoughtful and reasonable plans for addressing those needs; and have specific strategies for monitoring the implementation and outcomes of those plans, all with an eye towards helping your district(s) determine whether activities or strategies: 1) result in the kinds of changes that will lead to the longer-term district and school improvement you expect it to foster, and 2) are a worthwhile investment of your limited resources. In short, we want to see that you are engaged in an evidence-based cycle of inquiry (aka, a continuous learning cycle) that incorporates the use of SMART criteria (i.e., Specific and Strategic; Measurable; Action Oriented; Rigorous, Realistic and Results-focused; and Timed and Tracked) to support the process.

5 Completing the Part III Plan for Grant Fund Use Form The Part III: Plan for Grant Fund Use form consists of three sections, each of which is briefly described below: Section A. Proposed Activities, Strategies, Initiatives Section B. Grant Narrative Detail Section C. District and Partnership Contact Information Section A. Proposed Activities, Strategies, Initiatives Section A asks for a numbered list of the activities, strategies and initiatives that you propose to support with your Enhancing Supports for Students in Poverty Grant. Section B. Grant Narrative Detail Section B is the heart of your grant proposal. This is where you will provide details for the activity (or activities) you propose to support with your grant award. Please provide a separate narrative for each activity, initiative or strategy listed in Section A. The narrative should include information on the following key topics, each of which is briefly described below. Topic 1. A brief description of the activity, strategy, or initiative. Topic 2. Your rationale for selecting this activity, strategy, or initiative. Topic 3. Anticipated changes. Topic 4. Monitoring implementation and assessing change. Note: The Enhancing Supports for Students in Poverty Grant Rubric (at the end of these instructions) is another resource to provide districts with specific guidance about types of information and level of detail that your narrative will need to include in order to be approved. Topic 1. A brief description of the activity, strategy, or initiative. Describe how the activity targets and will lead to transformation in the core instructional practices that are used in every classroom and instructional setting in order to accelerate improvements in teaching, learning, and student achievement of students in poverty. Include a description of the nuts and bolts of the activity you are proposing, focusing primarily on answering the following questions: What will educators be doing and learning while engaged in this activity Who will be involved (Teachers? Administrators? ) How many people will be involved? Which schools will be involved? Who will lead/facilitate the activity? What are their qualifications? When does the activity begin? When will it be completed? What resources are needed? How much will it cost? Topic 2. Your rationale for selecting this activity, strategy, or initiative. Explain to us why you chose this particular piece of work to support, including information about the evidence and process you used to select it and how it connects to and supports existing school and district improvement plans designed to support students in poverty. Topic 3. Anticipated changes. Provide clear, specific examples of the changes you expect to see in educators and/or the products/tools you expect to see developed as a direct result of this activity, strategy, or initiative. Stated another way: How will you know Fund Use Narrative Instructions Page 5 of 10
6 that this activity is been successful? (Note: We are looking for early indicators of change here directly related to grant funded activities.) Explain how these early indicators of change (e.g., changes in actions, discourse, expectations, instructional practices or products developed) will directly support and lead to changes in practice at the classroom level (i.e., the intermediate/short term outcomes that will ultimately have a positive effect on student learning and student achievement). Be sure to articulate clear measures of implementation, focusing especially on early evidence of change benchmarks and short-term outcomes. Topic 4. Monitoring implementation and assessing change. Describe your plans to assess whether any products or learning from the activity, strategy, or initiative are: a) being implemented with fidelity, and b) leading to the anticipated changes you articulated in Topic 3 Be sure to include information about: The types of evidence you will be collecting; How that information will be collected and analyzed and by whom; Who is ultimately responsible for this process. NOTE: ESE does not plan to collect these data for accountability purposes. Section C. Partnership and District Contacts This section asks you to list the names and contact information for the primary contact for a multidistrict partnership, and contact persons for each participating district. If you are applying as a single district, list district contact information under District Contact Person(s). COMPLETING YOUR GRANT SUBMISSION SUBMIT YOUR ENHANCING SUPPORTS FOR STUDENTS IN POVERTY GRANT FOR APPROVAL TO THE ESE SCHOOL IMPROVEMENT MAILBOX. Once you have completed the Part III narrative, submit an electronic copy of the form, along with your 323-P and 295 budget workbooks to the School Improvement mailbox. Please cc David Parker. Districts applying in partnership will send budget workbooks and copies of signed cover sheets to the lead partnership district. The lead partner will then submit all documents together to the School Improvement mailbox.
