Research shows that the most important factors in children’s academic success during school hours are their teachers and principals. CEI’s Professional Learning initiative provides convenings, resources, and assistance to support effective instruction in the classroom. In 2014, the Professional Learning team worked with educators in more than 100 school districts across Colorado.
“One of the key pieces of our partnership with CEI has been the connection to different networks around the state. What that’s done is create authentic, meaningful relationships with other school districts that we now use for resource sharing and to adjust to all of the changes (in education).”
Curtis Garcia, Principal | Centennial High School, San Luis
CEI completed the three-year Colorado Integration Project — a collaborative effort led by 13 Colorado school districts with support from CEI and the Colorado Department of Education. The project provided support to educators to implement Colorado’s new academic standards, assessments, and educator effectiveness in an integrated way. It was designed to significantly improve the number and rate of Colorado students who graduate college- and career-ready.
