Important Update

Hello, thank you for visiting our website. We are excited to announce that we are becoming the newly formed Southwest Comprehensive Center (Region 9). In addition to serving Arkansas, Louisiana, and Texas, we will also be serving Oklahoma and New Mexico. The current content of this website reflects resources from the 2019-2024 Region 14 Comprehensive Center, managed by Westat under a grant from the U.S. Department of Education. The new 2024-2029 Region 14 Comprehensive Center serves the Bureau of Indian Education (BIE).

Stay tuned for a Southwestern makeover as we transition to the Southwest Comprehensive Center (Region 9).

The New Mexico Public Education Department (NMPED) is dedicated to fostering an equitable and inclusive learning environment for all students. By collaborating with educators, communities, and families, NMPED strives to create a system that nurtures student well-being, empowers their identities, and equips them with the knowledge and skills necessary for success in college, career, and life. The department's vision is to build on New Mexico's strengths and establish a culturally and linguistically responsive education system that addresses the multifaceted needs of every student.
The four strategic focus areas are:
