Comprehensive Centers: Adding Value
to the Work of State Education Agencies
On September 11-12, 2006, the U.S. Department of Education hosted its second annual meeting
titled Comprehensive Centers: Adding Value to the Work of State Education Agencies. The
meeting took place in Washington, D.C., and was attended by the directors and key staff from the 16
Regional Comprehensive Centers and the five Content Comprehensive Centers.
The general sessions were designed to help increase knowledge around No Child Left Behind (NCLB),
while the content-specific sessions built upon the emphasis of NCLB and gave participants examples of current
work from around the nation. These content specific sessions allowed participant
the chance to see the current work under way in other centers, but it also provided an
opportunity to see where collaboration between the Regional Centers and Content Centers could
evolve for upcoming work.
Following you will find information provided to the participants at the meeting. Additional
information will be posted to this site as it becomes available.
