National Association of English Learner Program Administrators

Professional Learning Committee

The purpose of the Professional Learning Committee is to  contribute to the academic success of multilingual students/English learners by providing guidance regarding professional development best practices. Our work focuses on providing LEAs with guidelines about how to approach systemic and improvement-oriented professional learning. The committee also collects experiences from SEAs and LEAs to provide ideas on how to best utilize federal funds with respect to training, coaching, mentoring and modeling. The committee researches, evaluates and recommends approaches that capitalize on existing expertise, online open source resources as well as education partners using research-based approaches to all topics related to the education of multilingual learners/ELs.

The PL Committee meets on the third Thursday of each month at 7 PM ET.  Contact jenna.webb@naelpa.org if interested in joining the PL Committee.
