OVERVIEW
The Region 11 Comprehensive Center serves Nebraska, North Dakota, South Dakota, and Wyoming
The Region 11 Comprehensive Center (R11CC), serving Nebraska, North Dakota, South Dakota, and Wyoming, is one of 19 regional centers across the nation that help state education agencies (SEAs) to implement, scale, and sustain evidence-based programs, practices, and interventions that support improved educator and student outcomes. Operated by McREL International, R11CC collaborates with these SEAs to provide high quality technical assistance, build collaborative relationships, support local educational agencies to make systemic changes, and disseminate research-based practices.
