The Northwest Comprehensive Center at Education Northwest

Serving Alaska, Idaho, Montana, Oregon, and Washington state

About Us

Education Northwest is honored to lead the Northwest Comprehensive Center (CC), a federally funded technical assistance center serving Alaska, Idaho, Montana, Oregon, and Washington. Our Northwest CC team supports education agencies across these states to select, implement, and sustain evidence-based programs, practices, and interventions that strengthen instruction and improve student outcomes.

Education Northwest will operate the Northwest CC over a five-year grant cycle that began in fall 2024. We are proud to have operated CCs in the Northwest since the program’s inception in 2002.
