The mission of the center is to advance states' efforts to grow, respect, and retain great teachers and leaders for all students. It is working to increase both regional center and state education agency capacity for improving educators’ quality by addressing states' pressing needs through thoughtful, responsive technical assistance. OVAE has invested Perkins Career and Technical Education Act funds in the center, which is co-funded with the Department’s offices of Elementary and Secondary Education and Special Education and Rehabilitative Services.
In this webinar, Thoughtful Partners, Responsive Support, you will discover ways to access the center's technical assistance services and tour its website. You also will learn about the new tools and resources to be released in the coming year, including:

- Great Teachers and Leaders for All Learners Blog: An online conversation to share ideas and research about innovation and action in the equitable distribution of effective educators, and to provide examples of such innovations and actions.
