National Center Overview

The National Center works with States and Regional Centers to enhance the quality of instruction, close achievement gaps, and improve educational outcomes for all students. To this end, we deliver high-quality universal and targeted capacity-building services and products, and work with key education stakeholders to leverage expertise and resources and, ultimately, maximize results.

We’re a nimble team, serving as valued ambassadors to the Comprehensive Center Network (CCNetwork) by promoting Center services, serving the needs of the Comprehensive Center Program and the U.S. Department of Education as a whole, and being faithful stewards of federal education resources.

Our Mission

The National Comprehensive Center’s mission is to bolster equity by helping educational systems provide the resources, create the policies, and enact the instructional practices required for all groups of students to learn, grow, and achieve regardless of their identity and experiences.
