Regional Centers

Regional Centers must provide frontline assistance to states to help them implement NCLB and other related federal school improvement programs and help increase state capacity to assist districts and schools meet their student achievement goals. Regional Centers must be embedded in regions and responsible for developing strong relationships and partnerships within their regional community. While Content Centers must focus almost entirely on specific content areas, analyzing research, developing useful products and tools for Regional Centers and other clients, the Regional Centers will be the on ground providers to states.
