Project Summary

The New York Comprehensive Center (NYCC) is one of 16 regional comprehensive centers funded by the U.S. Department of Education to support state education agencies in fulfilling the promises of the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001. Headquartered in New York City under the leadership of RMC Research, NYCC is a partnership that has included the Alliance (2005-2010), Education Development Center, Learning Innovations at WestEd, and the United Federation of Teachers' Teacher Center.  The mission of the NYCC is to develop the capacity of the New York State Education Department and its networks and agencies to assist districts and schools in improving achievement outcomes for all students.

As a partner in the Comprehensive Center work, we worked with the center's senior management to provide research and technical assistance to the initiatives requested by the state. We provided capacity building technical assistance in adolescent literacy, teacher quality, improving the achievement of English language learners, using technology to support teaching and learning, and increasing parental knowledge of No Child Left Behind. The Alliance designed, developed, hosted and maintained the NYCC Web site, and also implemented an online collaboration site to support selected work with the state education agency.
