THEORY OF CHANGE
CEI is an independent non-profit that collaborates with the Colorado Department of
Education (CDE), schools, districts, Boards of Cooperative Educational Services (BOCES),
and partner organizations across the state to advance innovation, collaboration, and
student achievement. Our partnerships help us implement innovative strategies to support
educators in reaching every learner, every day. At the foundation of CEI’s work is the longterm vision that all Colorado students have the opportunity to develop the academic,
professional, personal, entrepreneurial, and civic outcomes that are necessary to succeed
after high school.
To achieve that vision, CEI organizes our work into three inter-related strands that together
drive meaningful and sustained improvements in public education:
1.
2.
3.
Empowering educators with
individualized professional learning;
Personalizing learning environments
to provide every student with the
educational supports and resources
they need to succeed;
Driving systems change in ways that
respond to the dynamic needs of
communities, educators, and students.
We believe that collectively,
these areas of work will
accelerate
innovation in
Colorado’s education
