In the Spring of 2019, the Center for Education Policy Research at Harvard University launched the National Center for Rural Education Research Networks (NCRERN) with funding from the U.S. Department of Education's Institute of Education Sciences. This overview provides a step-by- step description of NCRERN's continuous improvement model. NCRERN's model helps partner districts identify obstacles to their students' success, select evidence-based solutions to address these challenges, and pilot and test the efficacy of these solutions to help inform districts' next steps.
