Welcome to The Northeast Comprehensive Center

The Northeast Comprehensive Center engages state education leaders in using research-based findings and rigorous evidence to meet the goals of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA). Our purpose is to design technical assistance services that use research findings and evidence based solutions to meet education leaders’ priority needs, further the key initiatives of the U.S. Department of Education, and have the greatest potential for building state and district capacity that help schools improve.

Mission

The mission of the Northeast Comprehensive Center (NCC) is to develop the capacity of the state education agencies in Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New York, Rhode Island, and Vermont and their networks and agencies to assist districts and schools in improving achievement outcomes for all students. In doing so, we strive to engage with state education leaders in:

  • Thinking systemically about the relationships among all elements to create coherence and articulate a common purpose;
  • Using research-based findings and rigorous evidence to evaluate impact, refine practices, seek new solutions, and meet learners’ needs;
  • Acting strategically to maximize opportunities and to make the best use of available resources; and
  • Working collaboratively across leadership levels and organizations to leverage resources and overcome barriers.
