Resources by State Tool From the Education Commission of the States

December 2021 | Education Commission of the States

The Resources by State tool from the Education Commission of the States offers policymakers and education leaders a consolidated, state-by-state gateway to access a wide range of policy materials. Users simply click on a state to explore reports, information requests, state profiles, and policy documents that specifically reference that jurisdiction. The tool also includes filters for issue areas (like funding, governance, assessment, STEM, etc.), document types, and education levels, helping users home in on content relevant to early learning, K–12, or postsecondary topics. Originally published in 2021, this resource is maintained by a trusted, nonpartisan national organization that supports evidence-informed policy work. It stands out for its ability to provide tailored access to state-specific educational resources across diverse topics, making it quicker and easier to locate actionable policy insight at the state level. Importantly, the tool allows side-by-side comparisons across states, supporting cross-state learning and collaboration.
