Center Overview
The Appalachia Regional Comprehensive Center (ARCC) provides differentiated, high-quality, evidence-based, relevant, and useful technical assistance that results in increased state education agency capacity to implement NCLB, enhanced student achievement, and improved school and district AYP (adequate yearly progress) status in Kentucky, North Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia, and West Virginia. The ARCC at Edvantia is a dynamic, collaborative network consisting of the Center for Equity and Excellence in Education at George Washington University, the Eastern Stream Center on Resources and Training (ESCORT), the National Center for Family Literacy, the SERVE Center for Continuous Improvement at the University of North Carolina—Greensboro, and the Southern Regional Education Board. These organizations have many years of experience in providing technical assistance to the region's state education agencies.
