The NPD Program provides grants for
eligible entities to implement professional development activities
intended to improve instruction for English Learners (ELs) and
assists education personnel working with ELs to meet high
professional standards. Information in the NPD grantee performance
report is being collected in compliance with the authorized by
section 3131(c)(1)(C) of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act
of 1965 as amended by the Every Student Succeeds Act, and in
accordance with the Government Performance Results Act (GPRA) of
1993, Section 4 (1115), and the Education Department General
Administrative Regulations (EDGAR), 34 CFR 75.253. Grantees are
required to report targets and their progress toward meeting the
objectives and goals established for each ED grant program. This
information collection serves two purposes; the data are necessary
to assess the performance of the NPD program on measures and also,
budget information and data on project-specific performance
measures are collected from NPD grantees for project monitoring and
for the purpose of determining continuation funding.
