The National Center on Education and the Economy (NCEE), based in Washington, DC, has been conducting comparative research into high-performing education systems worldwide since 1988 to help U.S. states and districts raise their performance. It links policy analysis with practical support by producing reports and redesign guidance that policymakers and education leaders can act on. Its work involves collaboration with teachers, school leaders, district teams, and state policymakers to reshape the U.S. education system. In the public policy sphere, NCEE has a long history of influencing U.S. education policy and practice through evidence-based research. Recent activity includes collaborations with other organizations, such as a 2022 partnership with Teach Plus Pennsylvania.
