The Teacher Quality Partnership Program |
|
The Teacher Quality Partnership (TQP) Program is the federal government’s primary vehicle for investing in comprehensive educator preparation. The program funds partnerships between underserved school districts and institutions of higher education to provide teacher residencies, school leader preparation, or implement specific reforms to existing undergraduate- and graduate-preparation programs. TQP-funded residencies must also provide participants stipends, an important tool to recruit and support diverse candidates. Eligible partnerships may include education service agencies.
Program requirements/highlights:
- Grantees are required to provide extensive, year-long clinical preparation to teacher candidates.
- Grantees must provide an induction program for at least the first two years of a graduate’s teaching career.
- Candidates participating in teaching residency programs commit to teaching for at least three years in a high-need field in the high-need district where they were prepared.
- All candidates are prepared to teach students with disabilities, to teach English language learners, and to teach literacy strategies.
- Grantees are expected to maintain the reforms even after funding ends, and they must provide a 100% funding match.
Resources to apply: The current cycle for FY22 applications requires an intent to apply by March 28, 2022, and applications due by April 28, 2022.

IDEA Funding Coalition Co-Chairs Respond To FY22 Omnibus
AESA is proud to co-chair the IDEA Full Funding Coalition with the National Center for Learning Disabilities and the Council for Exceptional Children.
The following statement was released by the co-chairs of the IDEA Full Funding Coalition, a group of national and state organizations committed to full funding of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA):
“The final FY22 omnibus is a missed opportunity for Congress to self-correct on its chronic underfunding of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). As co-chairs of the IDEA Full Funding Coalition, we are disappointed to see that, once again, supporting infants, toddlers, children, and youth with disabilities and honoring this statutory commitment remains outside the scope of Congressional priorities.”
AESA Joins Statement: Call For Congress To Extend Child Nutrition Waivers
On March 9, AESA joined 26 education, anti-hunger, public health, and industry organizations in a statement expressing disappointment that Congress failed to include an extension of the child nutrition waivers in the omnibus package. Without these extensions, millions of children will face a hunger cliff when they lose access to school, summer, afterschool, and childcare meals on July 1, with Black, Latinx, and Indigenous populations and children in rural communities being hit the hardest.
Read the full statement here.

Join us today for a FREE webinar on
Tuesday March 15, 2022

School safety is not defined by one product, one process, or one person. It is comprehensive, integrated, and requires the efforts of students, staff, and innovative solutions with committed partners. Addressing safety can feel like navigating through an ocean of icebergs where each represents a safety issue or concern.
In partnership with AESA and your team, STOPit Solutions provides the solutions and know-how that benefit you and your students in the process by navigating the surface and taking a deeper dive into school safety. Working with you, STOPit Solutions proactively identifies concerns, mitigates risk, and creates safer, healthier learning and working environments for your students and staff.
Join us to dive into the mental health pandemic our schools are facing, learn what actions can be taken to mitigate this issue, and how STOPit partners with ESAs currently to ease the resource burden of mental health. Assistance finding a variety of funds to pay for projects and services is available, including and especially grant support.
