Overview
The Region 2 Comprehensive Center (R2CC) led by WestEd, in partnership with its technical assistance partner, the Education Development Center, is part of the national Comprehensive Center Network (CC Network). The R2CC works closely with its evaluation partner, Mathematica, to provide capacity-building technical assistance to effectively support state education agencies (SEAs) and their regional and local constituents. R2CC staff provide individualized state support and facilitate regional collaboration among the three states (Connecticut, New York, and Rhode Island).
A key focus for R2CC is promoting collaboration among federally funded centers to ensure coordination of efforts and more seamless delivery of services and supports. To achieve this goal, the R2CC has collaborated with the Regional Educational Laboratory-Northeast and Islands (REL-NEI) to leverage its data and research capacity to achieve project milestones and outcomes. In addition, R2CC convenes a Regional Coordinating Council to facilitate communication and resource sharing and to share information about the evolving needs and context of states in the region.
