Our Work
Over the next few years, CEI will center our work around four main areas of focus, which we believe are the strategies that will create learning environments where student agency and equity are a priority as both a design strategy and an outcome.

Secondary Policy and High School Redesign
Reimagining high schools to respond to the current and future needs of students and communities.

Youth Connections
Strengthening the capacity of schools to respond to and promote social, emotional and mental well-being for middle and high school students.

Disrupted Learning
Thanks to many parents, students and educators there is still much learning happening in homes and virtual spaces right now – it’s just disrupted.

Strategic Reopening Collaborative
The Strategic Reopening Collaborative outlines four goals for re-entry: Address Inequities, Connect, Reassure & Inspire, and Assess & Prepare. Strategies are included to consider three primary stakeholders while working towards goals: Educators, Students, and Families & Communities.

Rural Superintendent Academy
Advancing the superintendent role in rural districts to include skilled technical systems expertise, leadership in economic and talent development, and an engaging, inclusive mindset.
