There are three types of grants under
the Teacher Quality Enhancement Grants Program: State Grants,
Partnership Grants, and Recruitment Grants. The grantees of each
program must annually submit the performance reports to the
Department of Education so that the Department can evaluate the
performance of grantees prior to awarding continuation grants, as
well as use the data for their annual reports to Congress, as
required by the Government Performance Results Act of 1993. The
grantees are also legislatively mandated to submit annual reports
to Congress on their progress toward the programs' goals.
