Our Story

Project MOMENTUM is fully funded by a $2.7 million grant from the National Professional Development Program from the U.S. Department of Education Office of English Language Acquisition (Award #T365Z220119). 

The National Professional Development program provides grants to eligible organizations to design and implement high-quality professional development activities that improve instruction for multilingual learners. The Southeast Service Cooperative was selected as a grant recipient in Fall 2022 with anticipated funding through Spring 2027.

Since 2022 we have launched 20 self-paced CEU courses for educators, offering over 50 unique hours of learning opportunities, a 76-page handbook for Multilingual Learner Program Coordinators, and free and accessible tools to support educators in elevating equity and excellence in education for multilingual learners. Additionally, we have developed specific supports to guide teachers pursuing K-12 ESL as an additional license through the License Via Portfolio process.
The first cohort of our PELSB-approved K-12 ESL additional license program will start on January 2025.
