NCEE has a history of contributing to influential research reports[4][5] on public education in the United States and advocating for large-scale education reform[6] based on its international benchmarking research[7] on high-performing, equitable education systems around the world.[8][9] Its framework and model is presented in the Blueprint for a High-Performing Education System.
It has partnered with the National Conference of State Legislatures (NCSL),[10][11] the U.S. Department of Education,[12] the U.S. Department of Labor,[13] school districts,[1][14] state education departments,[15][16] and the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD)[17][18] on landmark education reports.[19] It has conducted oversees research and site visits of top-performing countries.[20]
Its funders include the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, the Annie E. Casey Foundation, the Stupski Foundation, and the Wallace Foundation.[6][21]
NCEE's mission is, "To analyze the implications of changes in the international economy for American education, formulate an agenda for American education based on that analysis and seek wherever possible to accomplish that agenda through policy change and development of the resources educators would need to carry it out."[22]
