Our Work
The New York Comprehensive Center (NYCC) is one of 16 regional comprehensive centers that are federally funded to implement the goals of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA). In doing so, we engage the New York State Education Department in using research-based findings and rigorous evidence. The Center provides technical assistance services to meet the Department’s priority needs and further the key initiatives of the US Department of Education. Additionally, the NYCC works with the State on emerging needs based on new statutes and policy mandates. The NYCC’s main focus is on those activities which have the greatest potential for developing the state’s capacity in helping improve student outcomes.
The NYCC continually reviews the state service delivery plan through regular meetings with state education leaders to discuss their priority and emerging needs for technical assistance. This allows the Center to supplement the special initiatives with specific requests for additional capacity building support.
