January 8, 2007 [CFDA# 84.215X])
************************************************************
*******
Purpose of Program: Teaching American History grants
support
projects to raise student achievement by improving
teachers'
knowledge, understanding, and appreciation of traditional
American
history. Grant awards assist LEAs, in partnership with
entities
that have extensive content expertise, to develop,
document,
evaluate, and disseminate innovative, cohesive models of
professional development. By helping teachers to develop a
deeper
understanding and appreciation of traditional American
history as a
separate subject within the core curriculum, these programs
improve
instruction and raise student achievement.
Applications Available: January 8, 2007.
Deadline for Notice of Intent to Apply: February 7,
2007.
Pre-Application Meeting: A pre-application meeting for
prospective applicants will be held in January 2007 in

and through the Teaching American History Web site at
http://ww
w.ed.gov/programs/teachinghistory.
Deadline for Transmittal of Applications: March 9,
2007.
Eligible Applicants: Local educational agencies (LEAs),
including charter schools that are considered LEAs under
State law
and regulations, that must work in partnership with one or
more of
the following entities: An institution of higher education;
a non-
profit history or humanities organization; a library or
museum.
Estimated Available Funds: The Administration has
requested
$50,000,000 for this program for FY 2007. The actual level
of
funding, if any, depends on final Congressional action.
However,
we are inviting applications to allow enough time to
complete the

Videoconference -- "Addressing the Needs of Juvenile
Status
Offenders and Their Families" -- January 18, 2007
************************************************************
*******
On Thursday, January 18, 2007, 2:00-4:00 (eastern time), the
Office
of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP) will
present
the videoconference "Addressing the Needs of Juvenile
Status
Offenders and Their Families."=20
In 2004, 18 percent of all juvenile arrests involved status
offenses -- nondelinquent, noncriminal acts that are
considered
illegal only for juveniles (e.g., truancy, running away,
underage
drinking, curfew violations, being
"ungovernable"). Research has
clearly linked status offending behavior with later
delinquency.
The videoconference is designed to raise awareness about
status
offending and to highlight legislative reforms, policies,
programs,
and practices that have shown promise in effectively
intervening
with status offenders and their families and steering these
youth
toward a positive future. The target audience includes
policymakers, judges, attorneys, and law enforcement;
juvenile
justice, child welfare, social services, and other
youth-serving
agencies.
OJJDP's cosponsors for the videoconference are the American
Bar
Association (ABA) Commission on Youth at Risk, the ABA
Center on
Children and the Law, and the Family and Youth Services
Bureau of
the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
The videoconference will be available for online viewing
from
desktop computers and group viewing at satellite download
sites.=20
