Progress: In 2001, EACs improved their performance in all areas except ''conference/seminar/other training events.'' Program budget constraints prohibited increases in this area. 2001-2002 EAC activities were interrupted by the enactment of the No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB), January 2002. NCLB re-directed EAC activity and focused Centers' work on the requirements of the legislation. The shifting nature of requested technical assistance is reflected in what appears to be a reduction of services in some areas. New areas of TA include: increased access to English language literacy for ELL students in addition to bilingual education advocacy; disaggregated data; high-quality teacher professional development; and parent group assistance.

Explanation: Equity Assistance Centers (EACs) reported an unduplicated count of events, such that each event is only counted once.   		Additional Source Information: Equity Assistance Center Project Performance Reports, 2000.
