Dear NPD Program Grantee,
Thank you for having agreed to participate in the Implementation Evaluation of the National Professional Development (NPD) Program.
Purpose of Study: This study aims to better understand how grantees of 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.
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 30–60 minutes to complete.
Benefits: Your participation will help inform policy makers, educators, and researchers at the local, state, and national levels on the implementation of the NPD program. Findings from this study will be used to guide future improvements to the NPD program and identify areas for future research.
More Information: For questions or more information about this study, you may contact the AIR study team at XXXX@air.org or call the study toll-free-number at, 1-800-XXX-XXXX.
Thank you for your cooperation in this very important effort!
