Nota a los directores: Aparece a continuación una lista de beneficiarios de las subvenciones.
Unas 129 subvenciones que ascienden a un valor total superior a $118 millones se han concedido a distritos escolares en 40 estados con el objeto de mejorar la calidad de la enseñanza sobre la historia americana, adelantó la Secretaria de Educación de EEUU Margaret Spellings.
"Más que nunca, este es el momento de celebrar los principios fundamentales de nuestra gran democracia y los hombres y las mujeres que hicieron posible nuestra libertad, así como los que han luchado y continúan luchando por esa libertad", dijo la Secretaria Spellings. "Estas subvenciones para la enseñanza de la historia americana profundizarán los conocimientos de los maestros y, a su vez, darán a los estudiantes una mayor comprensión y aprecio de nuestra rica historia. Los estudiantes que cuentan con una buena base en la historia tienen mayor probabilidad de ser participantes activos e informados en nuestra sociedad democrática."
El programa de subvenciones discrecionales para la Enseñanza de la Historia Americana (Teaching American History discretionary grant program) presta apoyo a proyectos de tres años dirigidos a mejorar el aprecio y los conocimientos de la historia americana mediante el desarrollo profesional intensivo y continuado. Los proyectos deben ser en colaboración con organizaciones que tengan amplios conocimientos sobre la historia americana, entre las cuales se incluyen las bibliotecas, los museos, las organizaciones sin fines de lucro dedicadas a la historia o las humanidades y las instituciones de educación superior.
La Historia es una de las materias académicas básicas según lo dispuesto en la histórica ley Que Ningún Niño Se Quede Atrás; sin embargo, la Evaluación Nacional del Progreso Educativo, conocida por sus siglas en inglés NAEP (National Assessment of Educational Progress) y, popularmente, como las "calificaciones del país", muestra que menos del 25 por ciento de los estudiantes del cuarto, octavo y doceavo grados son competentes en materia de historia americana. El Departamento de Educación de EEUU ha podido constatar que los estudiantes se desempeñan mejor si sus maestros cuentan con conocimientos profundos sobre las materias que enseñan. Mediante el programa de subvenciones para la Enseñanza de la Historia Americana, los maestros de historia profundizarán en el contenido de historia americana a fin de poder enseñar de manera más eficaz a sus estudiantes.

La Ley Que Ningún Niño Se Quede Atrás es la histórica legislación bipartidista de reforma educativa que tiene por objeto transformar la cultura de las escuelas de EEUU al cerrar la brecha en el rendimiento académico, al ofrecer mayor flexibilidad a los estados, al dar a los padres más información y opciones y al enseñar a los estudiantes con base en lo eficaz. Conforme a las firmes disposiciones de la ley respecto a la responsabilidad de los resultados, los estados deben describir cómo cerrarán la brecha en el rendimiento y garantizarán que todos los estudiantes, incluso los que tienen discapacidades, se superen académicamente.
