the National Professional Development (NPD) program, authorized by

which aims to help educational personnel working with English
learners (ELs) meet high professional standards and to improve
classroom instruction for ELs. The evaluation is designed to
provide a systematic and up-to-date look at the implementation
ofNPD-supported activities among the programs' 91 current grantees

meet those goals, changes made to teacher education programs, and
challenges and successes in promoting educator capacity to serve
