School Access to CEI Innovations Broadens
CEI Becomes Part of the NAESP
The Center for Educational Improvement (CEI) has joined the National Association of Elementary School Principals (NAESP) to provide broader services to more of the nation’s 65,000 elementary and middle school principals and their schools. CEI will serve as NAESP’s center for research and professional development with a mission to lead 21st century learning. CEI will continue to focus on innovations in schools using the latest research findings to assist school leaders as they work to improve their schools. Since its inception in 2009, CEI has provided research- and data-driven technical assistance to improve students’ educational experiences and assist schools in making great gains.

Preparing for Common Core
As the 2014-15 school year approaches, educators everywhere are wondering how to prepare for the instructional shifts that move students toward rigorous independent thinking and learning under the Common Core State Standards (CCSS).
A recent study by the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) provides some insights and cautions. Free resources for CCSS preparation available from the National Association of Elementary School Principals (NAESP), the Council of Chief State School Officers (CCSSO), and Student Achievement Partners (the nonprofit run by the CCSS lead writers) also provide important guidance.
