Overview
The Region 15 Comprehensive Center (R15CC) led by WestEd is part of the national Comprehensive Center Network and provides capacity-building technical assistance, content expertise, and other services in support of state education agencies (SEAs) and their regional and local constituents in Arizona, California, Nevada, and Utah. R15CC staff provide individualized state support and facilitate regional collaboration between the Arizona Department of Education, the California Department of Education, the Nevada Department of Education, and the Utah State Board of Education.
A central priority for the R15CC is providing multiple opportunities for regional state partners to collaborate on shared problems of practice and evidence-based solutions through Communities of Practice (CoPs) and Professional Learning Networks (PLNs). These regular convenings bring together educational partners from all four states, spotlighting bright spots and identifying opportunities for professional learning and technical assistance.
R15CC dedicates significant expertise to building the organizational capacity of its SEA partners and providing support for leadership development. R15CC works side by side with its regional partners to expand the implementation of sustainable practices, increasing SEA’s systemic effectiveness.
