Center Overview
The Northwest Regional Comprehensive Center (NWRCC) is part of the U.S. Department of Education's Comprehensive Centers Program. The NWRCC assists the State Education Agencies of Idaho, Montana, Oregon, Washington and Wyoming by helping them adopt proven approaches to achieve the school improvement and student performance goals of the No Child Left Behind (NCLB) Act. The work of the NWRCC includes three components: 1. Technical assistance that focuses on direct assistance to each of the SEAs to build their capacity to implement the NCLB provisions applicable to states. 2. Tasks and strategies designed to help each SEA build its capacity to help schools and districts in closing achievement gaps among student subgroups and meet the goals of NCLB, and 3. Dissemination approaches to provide high-quality, relevant and useful information to support states, districts and schools throughout the Northwest region in implementing the goals and provisions of NCLB. Funded by the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education, the NWRCC is administered by the Northwest Regional Educational Laboratory (NWREL) in partnership with RMC Research Corporation, both located in Portland, OR.
