The Center on Instruction supports the regional Comprehensive Centers as they serve state education leaders in the work of helping schools and districts meet the goals of No Child Left Behind-to close the achievement gap and improve teaching and learning for all students. To that end, we offer information on NCLB and best practices in reading, math, science, Special Education, and ELL instruction; syntheses of recent scientific research on instruction; and opportunities for professional development.

By insisting on high achievement by all students, regardless of geography or life circumstances, the No Child Left Behind Act has made the need for rigorous, effective instruction an urgent national priority.

In order to build the capacity of the regional Comprehensive Centers to meet state and local instructional needs, improve the overall quality of teaching and learning, and promote the understanding and use of evidence-based instruction, the Center on Instruction is devoted to the primacy of instruction in school improvement.
