agencies (SEAs) to stimulate, select, implement, and
scale up learning innovations in local education
agencies (LEAs) and schools to improve learning
outcomes for all students; and (b) increase the
capacity of regional comprehensive centers (RCCs)
to provide technical assistance to SEAs relative to
CIL’s scope of responsibility.

Why Learning Innovations?



Learning innovations replace currently accepted standards
of curricular and instructional practice with new practices
demonstrated to be more effective or more efficient in
the context in which they are applied.
CIL will work with RCCs to build SEAs’ capacity to
stimulate, select, implement, and scale up innovations in
learning.
CIL will focus on the school and classroom as the
principal points of entry for learning innovations, with
SEAs and LEAs playing significant roles in bringing the
innovations to the school.
