11. Budget. Guidelines and information on the preparation of the budget are given in section III of this manual. In preparing the budget, the sample outline on page 53 should be followed. Classification of the Proposal The classification serves as the detailed identification of a program and will also be used in the news release announcing successful proposals. Correct classification of each proposal is imperative. Every applicant will have to decide which of some 600 programs would be most appropriate to his needs and professional status and the information on which he will have to base his decision will be the identification contained in this classification since there will be no opportunity to revise it between the selection of successful proposals and the announcement of programs. The proposal should be classified in accordance with the following outline and the "Supplementary Guidelines." The appropriate classification should appear in the space indicated at the top righthand corner of the cover sheet of each proposal, viz., (1) field, (2) type, (3) level, (4) code, and (5) geographic area of recruitment. 1. Field.-Institute programs must be predominantly in one of the 14 fields authorized: Arts and humanities Civics Counseling and guidance Disadvantaged youth Economics Educational media specialists English English for speakers of other languages Geography History Industrial arts International Affairs Modern foreign languages Reading While a program must be in one of these 14 fields, it may be designed for participants whose activities are not immediately identifiable with any of them. For instance, elementary and secondary school teachers of the language arts are also involved in instruction in English or in reading; similarly, teachers of social studies may be teaching history and geography. Therefore, a program in English may serve teachers and supervisors of language arts; and a program in history, teachers and supervisors of social studies. In these instances, the field would remain English or history, as the case might be. A program may be closely related to two or more of the authorized fields. For instance, one in reading may be almost equally concerned with disadvantaged youth. In such cases, the predominant field should be listed first, the other should follow, for example, "Reading— Disadvantaged Youth." Or, a program may be equally in English and reading and should be so identified; namely, "English and Reading." Or, a program may be predominantly in one of the authorized fields but may also include work in another field not included among the 14 areas. For example, an economics program which offers work in sociology or anthropology would be classified as "Economics," and a program in geography that also offers some geology would be labeled "Geography." 2. Type. The type of program should be indicated by a short descriptive phrase. Few programs can properly be classified as "general"; in fact, the use of this classification is usually restricted to some programs in English or reading which offer broad, basic programs. Thus, for example, a program in English with literature, language, and composition components traditionally would be typed as "general"; but if it were concerned with applied linguistics, its type should be described as "Applied Linguistics." The "Supplementary Guidelines" contain more specific information. "Special" programs.-The classification "special" as a type should be limited to programs designed only for participants who have special preparation or particular responsibilities which qualify them for a different or more advanced type of study than provided for in the Supplementary Guidelines. Examples might be a program or workshop designed for teachers in advanced placement programs; for institute directors to learn more about audiovisual materials; for supervisors or State supervisors in a given field; for language laboratory directors; for trainers of teachers (i.e., college teachers or others); for individuals engaged in training programs related to title I or title III of Public Law 89-10, or programs conducted abroad (see app. D). The classification "special," under type, should always be used to designate programs designed only for individuals who have previously attended an institute for advanced study in the same field or who possess equivalent experience and qualifications. 3. Level. This refers simply to the teaching level (i.e., school grade or performance level) of the participants to be served. "PS" means preschool; "K" indicates kindergarten; Arabic numerals indicate grade levels. Examples are PS-K, K-3, 5–8, 7-12. 4. Code. This is the participant preparation code. Most programs can be differentiated according to the kind and amount of preparation expected of the participants. The codes in the "Supplementary Guidelines" should be adequate for most situations. If not, an identifying phrase should be provided. 5. Area. The geographic areas from which participants are to be recruited may range from a school or school district to a city, county, State, region, or the entire Nation. Any variation or combination of these areas, which should be stated, is permitted. (N.B. When proposing an inservice training program or workshop for a single school district, however, it may be advisable to include participants from nonpublic as well as public schools in the district.) Summary Cover Sheet The cover sheet of the proposal should be identical with that which appears on page 21. One copy should be signed by the proposed director and the appropriate administrative official. In no case will a proposal be accepted unless at least these two signatures appear on the document. When the actual contracting agency for the submitting institution is designated by a name other than that of the institution itself (e.g., "The Regents of," or "The Foundation of"), this information should appear on the cover sheet and should be accompanied by the proper signature. If the Assurance of Compliance with title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 has already been filed with the Office of Education, a certification of this fact, signed in the same administrative office which has the responsibility for form HEW 441, should appear on the summary cover sheet of the proposal. If an institution has not submitted such an assurance, it must file form HEW 441 with the proposal. The Abstract Immediately after the cover sheet, a one-page summary (entitled Abstract) should give the following information: a. Institution. b. Title of proposal. c. Director's name. d. Number and type of participants. e. Period covered by the program. f. A single-spaced statement, not to exceed the remaining space on the page, summarizing the proposed program and its rationale, its special or unique features, and the reasons why it is worthy of support. Submission of the Proposal The full proposal and estimated budget should be typewritten, doublespaced, on 81⁄2- x 11-inch unruled white paper and should be sub 81-559 0-67- -6 Purpose of institute: (This may duplicate top right item, or it may be a narrative description to indicate general objectives and type of participants.) Proposals for Institutes for Advanced Study were submitted by this institution: supplementary sheet.) In 1967: Yes No D (If yes, give field(s) on Signature of the proposed director: Signature of the President, or authorized representative: Title: Date: Date: The Assurance of Compliance with title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 dated applies to the application submitted herewith. (day, month, year) (To be signed by the proper official.) Signed: Date: mitted in ten copies, which should be easily legible. The copies should not be bound or encased in heavy cardboard covers, but each copy should be stapled together in the upper lefthand corner. The signatures required need appear on only one copy. Proposals should be sent to: Division of Educational Personnel Training U.S. Office of Education Department of Health, Education, and Welfare It is the institution's responsibility to see that its own package of ten copies of the proposal is well wrapped so as not to be destroyed en route. Packages should be sent airmail or first class, depending upon which insures prompt delivery. Special delivery does not help. Since the panel of consultants will begin to read, evaluate, and rate proposals soon after the deadline, proposals which have been properly postmarked but which come by slow boat may still miss being read by them. SUPPLEMENTARY GUIDELINES FOR EACH This part of the manual provides supplementary information for the preparation of proposals in each of the fields authorized. The fields are arranged alphabetically. To avoid unnecessary repetition in the guidelines for each field, two features common to all categories are described below. They should be clearly set forth in every proposal submitted. Level With certain exceptions, a program may cover the range of instruction from preschool through grade 12, and may be multilevel or single level; for example, an institute may be K-3, 4-6, 7-9, 10-11, 12, or any combination thereof. In cases of broad grade combinations, such as K-12, the logical basis of the combination should be made clear, since concentration on a particular area is preferable. For apparent exceptions, such as programs for trainers of teachers and undergraduates, or in counseling and guidance, the level may be considered to be the one with which the participants are concerned, for example, trainers of teachers for K-3. Participant Workload Usually, participants will be involved full time in the program, which may comprise lectures, discussion sessions, practicum, demonstration |
