Comprehensive Regional Assistance Centers

The U.S. Department of Education has established 15 Comprehensive Regional Assistance Centers to help states, school districts, schools, tribes, community-based organizations, and other grant recipients with the administration, integration and implementation of programs funded under Improving America's Schools Act (IASA). The Centers will provide high-quality comprehensive training and technical assistance to improve teaching and learning and to meet the needs of children served by IASA programs.

The Centers will team with other national and regional federally supported service providers (e.g. Regional education Laboratories, National Diffusion Network, Eisenhower Regional Mathematics and Science Consortia, Regional Technology Consortia, ERIC system, and National Clearinghouse for Bilingual Education) to support and advance education reform. This network of organizations, working help to improve curricula, instruction, assessments, teacher professional development, and evaluation. The Centers will serve as resources of printed, video, and audio materials that can be used by teachers, parents and students for improving teaching and learning so all students can meet challenging state content and performance standards.
