The National Council of State Title III Directors (NCSTIIID) has changed its name to better reflect who the organization is and who its members are. The new name, the National Association of English Learner Program Administrators (NAELPA), has the focus of providing networking and professional learning opportunities for EL program administrators and others working in EL programs at the state and local (district) level.

Response to COVID-19 Pandemic - Resources for Educating ELs Online
The mass closing of schools across the county due to the COVID-19 "Coronavirus" has resulted in a significant move to online / virtual learning at the K-12 level. Educating ELs online is significant challenge that many educators are finding difficult to address. NAELPA is collecting Resources For Educating ELs Online and providing links to these resources on a separate webpage under the Resources page of this website. The NAELPA Executive Board and membership are committed to doing all we can to assist in the education of ELs during this unprecedented time in the history of education in our country.
