About CEC
CEC works with school districts across the country to implement measurable social change. Our mission and vision direct us to work with organizations using a systems orientation process to help them build collaborative cultures, and equitable, evidence-based practices that empower adults and students to deepen their learning and thrive.
Meet the CEC Team
CEC prides itself on being able to provide the right mix of consultants, with expertise both in building effective systems and in specific content areas. In addition, CEC strives to provide districts strong relationships with consultants over time.
We believe schools can finally make the changes that really make a difference. Will this be your story?
This we know is true:
Educators navigate the difficult conditions in schools because they ultimately want to positively impact the trajectory of a child. The current school organizational system needs to be freed to allow for these dedicated professionals to make it happen.
Now is the time.
Today’s sudden and dramatic change in our educational institutions have to radically alter who and how we operate in schools. It is time for fundamental, future-oriented change.
Let us partner with you to reimagine a better new normal.
You are in control of your school context. You have the power to shape the improvement you imagine.
CEC challenges the status quo by being a forward thinking, proactive, and innovative partner in preparing learners for successful futures.
We are collectively changed by today’s experiences. Now is the time to make the necessary system change through collective responsibility and empowering one another in our work to support the whole child.
Together we build capacity to imagine what is possible.
