Overview

In 2019, the US Department of Education created a five-year Comprehensive Center Network Program. This program groups states and US territories into 19 grant-funded Centers across the country and one National Content Center. Using strategic performance management and implementation science, with an emphasis on equity and cultural proficiency, these Centers are helping state education agencies implement their plans for the Every Student Succeeds Act and improve student academic achievement.

Leadership: R16CC’s leadership includes a Center Director and three State Directors. A tri-state Advisory Board promotes high-quality Center performance and guides the R16CC leadership activities and strategies.
