As one of the largest sources of federal education funds supporting educator development, it is critical to understand the importance and use of Title II-A funds. The U.S. Department of Education conducts annual surveys of states and districts to collect and report this information. The session will highlight key findings from surveys administered for the 2020–21 school year, illustrating how program funds supported educator development. The results describe the main uses of funds & the use of funding flexibility options to transfer funds between designated federal programs. The report describes the most common types & topics of district professional development for teachers and for principals supported with program funds. It also identifies the most common district strategies to recruit, hire, and retain educators. Districts reported whether and how they examined information about the equitable distribution of teacher quality or effectiveness for low-income or minority students.
