Current Narrative:
EL/Civics funds for local activities are distributed through three–year competitive and continuation local grants. The request for application (RFA) will be inclusive of all eligible applicants. Funds will be awarded to both governmental and non-governmental agencies, in accordance to the competitive grant selection process described in Section B, Local Activities. Funds will be used for the integration of civics content and to support civic activities in the ESOL program. ESOL programs follow the state curriculum frameworks that integrate civics–related standards. To ensure workforce preparation activities are integrated into the classroom, standards have been developed and included in the adult education courses. Training through face–to–face workshops and webinars will also be conducted on integration of civics and other activities into the ESOL program. EL/Civics leadership funds will support for 2016–2017 competition grants for ESOL programs to plan, design, and/or implement integrated education and training programs through Florida’s Integrated Career and Academic Preparation System.
