New Hampshire
NECC is working with the New Hampshire Department of Education (DOE) on two initiatives related to state systems of support. The Center has engaged state officials in piloting and refining the use of the Support for School Improvement (SSI) tool developed by the federal Comprehensive Center on Innovation and Improvement to offer technical assistance and monitoring to schools and districts in need of improvement, in corrective action, or in restructuring. NECC also works with state leaders on a statewide Roundtable to coordinate a tiered system of support for schools and districts. New Hampshire has engaged NECC support for its Response to Intervention Task Force, its Accountability Task Force, and its Instructional Coaching initiative.
Center staff members have worked with the New Hampshire Quantitative Literacy Action Plan (QLAP) team to create a research-based statewide numeracy plan and helped develop a series of regional New Hampshire forums on the DOE's Vision for High School Redesign: Moving from High Schools to Learning Communities. In previous years, NECC assisted in developing the New Hampshire Literacy Action Plan.
