About Us
Mission: 

NAPE strives to achieve its mission of building educator's capacity to implement effective solutions for increasing student access, educational equity, and workforce diversity.

Programs: 

NAPE utilizes the following four lines of business:

  • Professional Development: Designed to ensure access and equity in programs preparing students for college and careers by providing multiple options for awareness and skill building for educators, administrators, and counselors:
  • One- to eight-hour or multiday workshops
  • Daylong to yearlong institutional and classroom transformation programs
  • Online courses
  • Webinars, toolkits, and thousands of effective practice resources from around the nation
  • Research and Evaluation: Dedicated to quality research, evaluation and partnerships with top research institutions supporting the implementation of NAPE/NAPEEF’s effective practices and programs for access and equity in education.
  • Technical Assistance: NAPE/NAPEEF have the dedicated expertise to provide technical assistance for federal, state, and local education agencies in the areas of career and technical education, STEM education, special populations, civil rights compliance, and equity in education programs.
  • Public Policy and Advocacy: NAPE’s Public Policy team monitors federal legislation and regulatory policy addressing access, equity, and diversity in classrooms and the workplace. NAPE also maintains an annual public policy agenda, hosts a public policy day on Capitol Hill, and provides monthly, members-only e-news updates and legislation-specific web pages.
Why Work For Us?: 

NAPE is a membership-based organization of state agencies, local school districts, colleges, universities, businesses, and individual members. It is governed by an Executive Committee and decisions made by its membership. The NAPE Education Foundation, Inc., was established in 2002 as a 501(c)3 organization to obtain resources to support the needs of NAPE’s constituents.

As the nation’s leading professional educational equity alliance, NAPE/NAPEEF focuses on educators at the middle school, high school and community college levels. It delivers professional development, tools and resources, public policy advocacy and technical assistance in addition to conducting research to enhance students’ career options.

NAPE/NAPEEF share a mission, vision and values. Together, they envision a world where every student can realize his or her potential in high-wage, high-skill, new and emerging, and high-demand careers. To do this, their work focuses on increasing the enrollment, retention, and performance of underrepresented students in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) and career and technical education (CTE).
