Abstract: The data collection described in this submission includes activities for an implementation evaluation of the National Professional Development (NPD) program, authorized by Title III of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA), 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 as well as a representative sample of pre-service and in-service educators who participated in NPD-supported activities. The surveys will collect information on NPD grantees' goals, strategies used to meet those goals, changes made to teacher education programs, and challenges and successes in promoting educator capacity to serve ELs.
