The National Professional Development (NPD) program is funded by the U.S Department of Education's Office of English Language Acquisition, Language Enhancement & Academic Achievement for Limited English Proficient Students (OELA) under Title III of the No Child Left Behind (NCLB) act of 2001. OELA's National Clearinghouse for English Language Acquisition & Language Instruction Educational Programs (NCELA) collects, analyzes, synthesizes and disseminates information about language instruction educational programs for English language learners and related programs.
The mission of the NPD program is to provide professional development designed to improve the ability of teacher educators and higher education faculties in teaching English Language Learners (ELL). It is the goal of NPD to prepare teacher candidates for instruction that accelerates ELL's acquisition of English, literacy, and academic content knowledge. The program is also designed to upgrade teacher education curricula that are aligned with State content and State English language standards.
The founder and director of the NPD program is Dr. Christy Lao. Dr. Lao is also the Associate Professor of College of Education at San Francisco State University.
