The Center for Education Policy works to
improve the effectiveness and performance of the nation's
public education system. Faced with the rising education
standards imposed on our nation's schools by the No Child
Left Behind Act, the center helps schools and local education
agencies by identifying and disseminating best practices,
lessons learned and innovative approaches. These methodologies
are then applied to funding, school emergency response and
safety, professional development, and public and private
partnerships.
