About NCIE

When’s the last time you tackled a problem that impacts students throughout the country – and solved it all by yourself?

NCIE connects improvers like us to overcome the toughest challenges in education – the ones we’ve all been fighting for so long. We are boundary-crossing educators, researchers, strategy-builders and policymakers. Above all, we’re collaborators in continuous improvement – taking smart, strategic steps toward better systems and brighter outcomes for all students.

Our mission

We champion and amplify the use of improvement methods to transform educational systems so all young people learn and thrive, especially those at the margins.

Three Key Priorities

Too many of us are working heroically in isolation to improve
our schools and the lives of the young people in our care.
It doesn’t have to be this way.
Together, we endeavor to:

You ARE the Coalition.

This coalition is powered by you. Every solution starts with an improver asking, “What if?” – and pushing to create something better. We’re here to support and amplify your impact. Your work matters to students, and it matters to us.
