THE MISSION OF THE CENTER FOR COLLABORATIVE EDUCATION (CCE) IS TO TRANSFORM SCHOOLS TO ENSURE THAT ALL STUDENTS SUCCEED. WE BELIEVE THAT SCHOOLS SHOULD PREPARE EVERY STUDENT TO ACHIEVE ACADEMICALLY AND MAKE A POSITIVE CONTRIBUTION TO A DEMOCRATIC SOCIETY. CCE PARTNERS WITH PUBLIC SCHOOLS AND DISTRICTS TO CREATE AND SUSTAIN EFFECTIVE AND EQUITABLE SCHOOLS. WE FULFILL THIS MISSION IN FOUR PRIMARY WAYS: 1. BUILDING UNDERSTANDING WITH THE LARGE PUBLIC THAT INNOVATIVE SCHOOLS CAN INCREASE OPPORTUNITY AND JUSTICE FOR EVERY STUDENT. 2. CREATING EFFECTIVE MODELS OF URBAN EDUCATION, DISTRICT REDESIGN, AND LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT. 3. PROVIDING ONSITE COACHING, PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT, AND NETWORKING OPPORTUNITIES FOR EDUCATORS. 4. CONDUCTING RESEARCH THAT DOCUMENTS SCHOOL PROGRESS AND STUDENT RESULTS.
