Welcome Welcome to the online community for the Mid-Continent Comprehensive Center (MC3). This online community supports MC3’s primary mission of helping the state education agencies in Arkansas, Kansas, Missouri, and Oklahoma increase their capacity to provide sustained support to their districts and schools as they implement No Child Left Behind (NCLB). The online community serves as a conduit for information sharing and collaboration between and among the states in our region; the MC3 staff, its partners and collaborators; and educators in the region and beyond. In addition to our on-line activities, MC3 is involved in technical assistance activities throughout our region. The Center is one of 21 regional comprehensive centers funded by the U.S. Department of Education to help states implement the No Child Left Behind Act. In addition to providing a wide array of information on the full range of topics related to NCLB, the virtual tools within the online community enable you to join with others with similar interests or challenges to share experiences and identify solutions to specific problems, answer question, and resolve issues.
