Within the five instructional areas, the Center's work concerns research, practices, resources, information, and professional development for the 16 Comprehensive Centers. The Center on Instruction has these objectives:
- Objective 1: Synthesize the available evidence-based research on instruction in reading, science, mathematics, special education, and English language learning so that the regional comprehensive centers have access to the most current findings on instruction.
- Objective 2: Benchmark and identify exemplars of high-quality implementation of evidence-based practices with diverse students so that the regional comprehensive centers can present compelling models of rigorous, effective instruction.
- Objective 3: Translate the existing research knowledge on instruction in reading, math, science, special education, and English language learning into usable products that the regional comprehensive centers can offer state and local policy makers and educators.
- Objective 4: Serve as a conduit of information about NCLB, scientifically based research, and effective practice in reading, mathematics, science, special education, and English language learning that the regional comprehensive centers can use with their state clients.
- Objective 5: Offer the regional comprehensive centers high quality professional development opportunities.
