Grantees develop language instruction projects for ELs from Native American, Alaska Native, Native Hawaiian, and Native American Pacific Islander backgrounds. Projects include teacher training, curriculum development, and evaluation and assessment to support student instruction and parent-community participation. Student instruction may occur at the preschool, elementary, secondary, or postsecondary levels, or combinations of these levels. Entities that operate elementary, secondary, and postsecondary schools primarily for Native American children (including Alaska Native children)—including Indian tribes, tribally sanctioned educational authorities, native language educational organizations, Bureau of Indian Education funded or operated schools, and others—are eligible applicants under this program.
