Catalyst for Educational Change (CEC): Your Partner in Educational Advancement for Colorado.

SCHOOL AND DISTRICT IMPROVEMENT (Colorado EASI Grant Program)

CEC has considerable experience and success working with schools and districts identified for improvement or struggling to meet state and federal accountability standards. CEC has served as a lead partner in multiple school improvement initiatives across many states, providing comprehensive support to both schools and districts pursuing evidence-based strategies to improve student outcomes. With the launch of the Empowering Action for School Improvement (EASI) grant, CEC is now an approved provider and positioned to help districts and schools leverage these funds to drive meaningful, sustainable change.

As a strategic improvement partner, we have programs to support both targeted and comprehensive schools in using their EASI allocations effectively. Our work emphasizes high-quality instructional practices, leadership development, stakeholder engagement, and data-driven decision-making. See our testimonials page for examples of the impact our services have made in advancing school and district improvement initiatives.
