Our Story

A brief history

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 more than a dozen self-paced courses for educators offering over 70 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.
