This mixed methods descriptive study examined the effects of job-embedded professional development (JEPD) in reading on the content knowledge and instructional practice of teachers of English learners (ELs). Four first-grade teachers of ELs at one urban elementary school received JEPD over the course of a year. Results of pre- and posttests of teacher knowledge and classroom observations indicated that teachers’ reading content knowledge increased and that they used more evidence-based practices. JEPD shows promise as an approach that accommodates teachers’ varying levels of knowledge and experience in preparing them to meet the diverse needs of their students.

The Navy has an impressive record in the application of instructional technology to the design, development, and delivery of training. An information support system is being designed within the Naval Education and Training Command to optimize the application of instructional technology, resulting in increased efficiencies in training, personnel utilization, and professional development for the Navy enlisted force. The Naval Enlisted Professional Development Support System (NEPDISS) will be based upon specific tasks performed by enlisted personnel and will display a complete audit trail from job requirements to subsequent appraisal of task performance on the job. Inherently, it will furnish objectively derived data upon which management and enlisted man alike can base decisions.
