Center Overview

The Mid-Atlantic Comprehensive Center (MACC ) at the George Washington University Center for Equity and Excellence in Education is one of 21 Comprehensive Centers funded by the U.S. Department of Education. The network of Centers supports state education agencies (SEAs) to enable them to address the differentiated needs of low-performing schools and districts as mandated by the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 (NCLB). MACC's mission is to build the capacity of state education agencies to develop a statewide system of differentiated technical assistance for districts and schools in need of improvement. The goals of MACC support its mission by 1. Fostering relationships, resource sharing, and comprehensive planning across divisions to build the facility of the SEA to meet the technical assistance needs of schools and districts identified for improvement. 2. Supporting SEA use of data to identify and differentiate the needs of schools and districts identified for improvement so that appropriate assistance can be delivered by the SEA to address these needs. 3. Expanding the facility of SEAs to design and support ongoing, job-embedded professional development that helps district instructional leaders build effective practice in schools identified for improvement. The Mid-Atlantic Comprehensive Center serves the District of Columbia, Delaware, Maryland, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania.
