GPRA Indicators

As part of the APR or 524B , Teaching American History (TAH) grantees are required to report on both (1) project-specific measures and (2) Government Performance and Results Act (GPRA) measures. The current TAH GPRA indicators are:

(1) Students in experimental and quasi-experimental studies of educational effectiveness of Teaching American History projects will demonstrate higher achievement on course content measures and/or statewide U.S. history assessments than students in control and comparison groups.

(2) Teachers will demonstrate an increased understanding of American history through the use of nationally validated tests of American history that can be directly linked to their participation in the Teaching American History program.

All grantees must respond to these two GPRA indicators providing, to the extent possible, all the information they have on student performance and teacher content knowledge gains. For an example of the ED524B for TAH, download the 2006 Grant Performance Report/ED524B Project Status Chart.
