about the program

Learning Innovations at WestEd (LI) improves education for children by strengthening adult learning and promoting systemic improvement at the state, district, and school levels. LI provides professional development, research, and evaluation that bolster teacher quality and leadership, address needs of English learners and students with disabilities, and improve learning in science, math, and other subjects.

As the only organization in the northeast that provides technical and research assistance through two Comprehensive Centers (providing NCLB assistance to states), the Northeast Regional Resource Center (focused on special education), and a Regional Educational Laboratory, LI's expertise informs policy and implementation throughout seven northeastern states. As a partner in the New England Comprehensive Center, for example, LI worked with over 50 stakeholders in Massachusetts to develop a preK-12 literacy plan in 2006 that will shape policy, standards, and assessments for literacy teaching throughout the state.

With offices near Boston, Massachusetts, and Burlington, Vermont, LI's work is concentrated primarily in the Northeast and Southeast, including Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands.
