The Center for Educational Improvement is dedicated to improving educational experiences for students by improving the quality of teaching, helping schools and teachers replicate the best educational practices, and strengthening school leadership and management.  We serve the Washington DC metropolitan area as well as providing services nationally and internationally.  Our team includes extensive national and international experience, with experience providing technical assistance to schools, governments, and NGOs in 23 countries.

Our BLOG has moved — it is now located at the Administrator’s Corner.  Recent Topics: Everyday is Differentiation Day– written by Kevin Simpson, describing his work in Dubai; International Comparisons, Race to the Top, Assessment Practices.

NEW - Collaborating with the Leadership Training Institute LLC, the Center is bringing Ohio’s school improvement planning process to Washington, DC. Working with a team at your school, district, or state, we help administrators plan for and implement a research-based improvement process.

• We offer training modules that have been developed and field-tested, and also customize our professional development and technical assistance to meet the needs of schools and teachers.
• Our trainers use a practical, hands-on approach designed to improve the effectiveness of teachers, staff, and administrators.
• We believe in modeling and demonstrating best practices during our trainings, so our workshops and seminars include opportunities for problem-solving, brain-storming, quiet reflection, planning, and critiquing with a combination of small group, individual, and large group instruction.
• Teaming with educational experts we also assist states, schools, and districts with Race to the Top applications and implementation, school improvement, data systems, and using assessment to improve instruction. All of our services are designed and delivered with results in mind. Our approach is consistent with Wiggins’ Understanding by Design and Marzano’s research on educational strategies that work.

Also see the recent update from Dr. Mary Thormann describing highlights of some of her international work.

The Center for Educational Improvement is pleased that we are able to synthesize the most effective educational approaches from around the world. We pride ourselves in learning about works in one place and helping educators somewhere else understand how to replicate the practice and/or customize it to meet their needs.
