NSCC advances new knowledge on issues related to school climate and overall school improvement.
We conduct both primary and secondary research on education issues of national and local significance using the latest in qualitative and quantitative methodologies in an effort to enhance our understanding of how schools work to maximize student learning.
NSCC also provides expertise and research-related technical assistance to education researchers, practitioners, and policymakers to enable them to address important questions regarding school climate. Over the years, NSCC has produced a number of research publications for both general audiences and in peer-reviewed journals on a variety of topics important to school climate.
