Dear NPD Program Participant,

Thank you for agreeing to complete this survey for the Implementation Evaluation of the National Professional Development (NPD) Program!

  • Purpose of Study: This study aims to better understand how institutions of higher education, state education agencies, and school districts that receive funding through Title III’s NPD program are implementing projects to help educational personnel working with English learners (ELs) meet high professional standards and improve classroom instruction for ELs. Your participation in this study is voluntary.

  • Sponsor: The study is being conducted by the American Institutes for Research® (AIR®) under a contract from the U.S. Department of Education.

  • Response Burden: This survey should take approximately 40 minutes to complete.

  • Benefits: Your participation will help policy makers, educators, and researchers better understand how professional learning activities supported by the NPD program are working to support pre-service and in-service educators in providing effective instruction for ELs. Findings from this study will be used to guide future improvements to the NPD program and identify areas for future research. You will receive a $20 gift card for completing the survey.

  • How Your Responses Will Be Used: The information you provide through this survey will not be shared with anyone outside of the AIR study team. Your responses will be combined with responses from other individuals who participated in NPD-supported professional learning activities and summarized in a report that will be released on the U.S. Department of Education’s website. This report will not mention any individuals who participated in the study by name.

  • More Information: For questions or more information about this study, you may contact the AIR study team at [email protected] or call the study toll-free-number at 1-800-XXX-XXXX.

Thank you for your cooperation in this very important effort!
