The Center for Emerging Educational Practice
This new Collaborative for Educational Services (CES) resource is just for you – and stands on the cutting edge of advances impacting preK-12 public education—delivering the practical resources created through the work of talented consultants bringing innovative, equity-centered solutions to schools and communities.
The work of the CES specialists combine expertise across multiple disciplines—content specialists, social justice trainers, instructional technology, research, and evaluation—to advance education through comprehensive and customized approaches, grounded in an equity lens and responding to challenging district, school, and educator concerns. We now offer the Center to hold for educators some of the practical, evidence-based tools, guides, and frameworks developed through that work.
The Center for Emerging Educational Practices Mission
The mission of the Center for Emerging Educational Practice (CEEP) is to convene interdisciplinary teams from within CES and our network of partners to develop accessible resources tailored to a diverse range of audiences. From teachers and education leaders to practitioners, caregivers, policymakers, researchers, and other education decision-makers, CEEP collaborates with experts and practitioners to create resources that support, inspire, and inform. Our process is iterative, driven by reflection, dialogue, and design to address pressing needs in the educational community, with a focus on the unique contexts of small and mid-sized districts.
We invite educators to explore and use these resources.
The CES Center for Emerging Educational Practice serves as a resource hub for teachers, education leaders, practitioners, care-givers, policy-makers, researchers and other education decision-makers who are working to ensure that all students thrive, especially in the unique contexts of small and mid-sized districts.
We offer practical toolkits, research-based guides and tips, as well as professional development opportunities for educators who want to grow their own professional practice and improve educational systems at every level – classrooms, schools, districts and communities.
The online, downloadable resources created for the Center are available for educators free of charge, through Creative Commons licenses. We invite educators to apply and adapt the tools and guides housed on the Center for their own use.
