North Carolina Education Corps (NCEC) is a state-wide entity that partners with local public-school units (PSUs) to recruit, train, and support corps members to support students and accelerate learning. NCEC is a response to the impact COVID-19 is having on schools, as students struggle to keep up with learning. SSRI has partnered with NCSU’s Friday Institute to serve as evaluation partners for NCEC, with an aim to inform strategic decision-making and understand initiative impact for schools, Corps members, and students.
