Welcome to the Center on Instruction (COI), your gateway to a cutting-edge collection of scientifically based resources on instruction.

COI is based at RMC Research Corporation in Portsmouth, NH. We will continue to keep this site active through September 2013 in order to provide educators with FREE resources.

From 2005 to 2012, COI developed and identified free resources for use by Regional Comprehensive Centers and state, district, and local educators in their pursuit of high quality instruction. While COI’s resources are useful for improving the achievement of all students, they particularly target students in the lowest performing schools, students with difficulties learning mathematics, students needing intensive instruction, or special needs/diverse learners, including English language learners. Educators striving to improve instruction and raise academic achievement will find COI’s resources useful and relevant, including those who have been awarded School Improvement Grants (SIG) and/or those implementing College and Career Ready Standards, including the Common Core State Standards.
