Upcoming Events
SEA Learning Communities
NWRCC convenes State Education Agency (SEA) staff in four, theme-based Learning Communities. SEA staff across the five states with similar interests in Response to Intervention (RTI), Statewide Systems of Support (SSOS), Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM), and High Quality Teacher (HQT) have opportunities to share challenges, offer solutions, and learn of relevant resources related to these topics.
The Learning Community members typically meet via audio-conference and/or Webinars, but also periodically convene face-to-face at meetings and conferences. These Learning Communities serve to extend the NWRCC's technical assistance efforts to build the capacity of SEA staff to meet the requirements of NCLB and provide support to their districts and schools.
HQT Learning Community
Part of the NWRCC mission includes helping State Education Agencies deal with compliance issues surrounding HQT requirements. Toward this end, NWRCC proposed the establishment of an HQT Learning Community (HQT-LC) designed for and by SEA Title IIA Directors. The HQT-LC goal is to foster peer to peer communication between SEAs; strategize and problem solve on HQT compliance issues; serve as a vehicle for disseminating information and resources from the National Comprehensive Center for Teacher Quality (NCCTQ), and provide SEA Title IIA directors with ready and easy access to NWRCC resources.
HQT-LC meetings occur approximately every six weeks during the school year. Most meetings happen via teleconference and are supported with Web 2.0 online collaboration tools. Face to face meetings are arranged when feasible, such as during the NCCTQ national conferences.

STEM Learning Community
NWRCC STEM Learning Community (formerly the Mathematics Learning Community) provides SEA members with a chance to learn about regional and national research and reports. NWRCC hosted activities for the STEM Learning Community include teleconferences or Webinars, with regional and national experts joining the conversations, and symposia that provide members the opportunity for face-to-face interaction.
