What the grant funds

The Employment and Training Administration at the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) is soliciting applications in support of the administration of the Supporting Effective Educator Development (SEED) program on behalf of the U.S. Department of Education (ED). The SEED program provides funding to increase the number of highly effective educators by supporting the implementation of evidence-based practices that prepare, develop, or enhance the skills of educators to improve student outcomes. These grants will allow eligible entities to develop, expand, and evaluate practices that can serve as models to be sustained and disseminated. Applicants can receive competitive preference points to projects or proposals endorsed by a Governor or chief State education official for purposes of implementing the project or proposal. Applicants can also receive competitive preference points for projects or proposals that are designed to responsibly advance artificial intelligence and/or prioritize and expand Registered Apprenticeships.
