Urban Education

Referred to as the "urban-centric" classification system to distinguish it from the previous "metro-centric" classification system, the new classification system has four major locale categories—city, suburban, town, and rural—each of which is subdivided into three subcategories.

Regional Educational Laboratories (REL)

RELs focus on using knowledge about effective procedures to transform low-performing schools into high-performing learning communities where all children achieve academically. RELs focus at least a quarter of their work on rural education issues
The Regional Educational Laboratories (RELs) work in partnership with school districts, state departments of education, and others to use data and research to improve academic outcomes for students. Fundamentally, the mission of the RELs is to provide support for a more evidence-reliant education system.
