Supporting effective instruction

The Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education awarded the Department of Education New Hampshire $2,429,979 under the Supporting Effective Instruction State Grants program (CFDA 84.367) on July 1, 2026.

The award funds state-level and local-level activities to increase student academic achievement consistent with challenging state academic standards and improve the quality and effectiveness of teachers, principals, and other school leaders. State-level activities include reforming teacher and principal certification programs, providing support for new teachers, and delivering professional development for teachers and principals. Local educational agencies use subgrants for recruiting and retaining effective teachers and principals, providing professional development, and reducing class size. The program aims to provide low-income and minority students greater access to effective teachers, principals, and other school leaders.

The Department of Education New Hampshire, a state educational agency located in Concord, New Hampshire, serves as the recipient and administers the grant through subgrants to local educational agencies throughout the state. The period of performance runs from July 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027. The full $2,429,979 obligated amount is available for obligation through September 30 of the following year, with funds remaining available for an additional fiscal year for obligation and expenditure.
