The purpose of this study is to
evaluate the Comprehensive Technical Assistance Centers created to
assist state education agencies with the implementation of the
requirements of No Child Left Behind legislation. Four key methods
will be used in this study: (1) site vistits conducted to each
Center to learn about the Center's relationships with its clients
and the types of products and services that are delivered; (2)
expert panel review of a sample of projects undertaken by each
Center to assess the quality of the technical assistance provided;
(3) a survey of Center clients to rate the relevance, usefulness
and other aspects of the services they have received; and (4) a
survey of senior SEA officials who are responsible for negotiating
with the Centers to ensure that the nature of technical assistance
provided corresponds to state priorities.
