CEC Courses & Events

Lead.  Learn.  Transform.

The National Education Association (NEA) and the Catalyst for Educational Change (CEC) invite you to participate in a new, transformative learning cohort to build collaborative success in your district.

This is an opportunity for a leadership team from your district to participate in a facilitated pilot program to learn how to implement best practices that build and sustain collaborative processes and systems for student-centered, shared decision-making.

During this program, your team will:

  • Have full access to NEA’s online learning course “Collaborating for Student Success” and all of its accompanying tools and learning resources
  • Participate in live, virtual cohort sessions with other districts from around the country facilitated by CEC experts
  • Engage in live, virtual coaching sessions directly between your district and CEC
