Provides technical assistance to states and K-12 school districts to support their efforts to treat all students equally and to help them succeed in school whatever their background. We have offered equity-related assistance to K-12 education for nearly 25 years in cooperation with the U.S. Department of Education.

This Center replaces the Multifunctional Resource Center for Bilingual Education in Service Area 6 and eleven other Regional Technical Assistance Centers serving categorical programs. It encompasses the states of Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota, and Wisconsin. The University of Wisconsin-Madison is the principal and legal grantee in a collaborative partnership with the United Tribes Technical College (Bismarck, ND), Hamline University (St. Paul, MN), and Eastern Michigan University, EMU, http://www.emich.edu. A period of transition of transferring and revising roles and responsibilities from TACs to CRACs has been designated by the U.S. Department of Education.

This program is designed to improve teaching and learning through a technical assistance system that is driven by the needs of the state and local educational enterprises and their constituencies. In addition, the Program will empower school personnel and improve teaching and learning for all learners.
