BUILDING ON SUCCESS AND REFINING OUR FOCUS

THE JOURNEY SO FAR:

2016-2023: Building the Foundations

• Launched a total of 58 initiatives to date.
• Committed to enhancing educational excellence.
• Strengthened a vibrant learning community in California.
• For more information on CCEE, please visit CCEE Initiatives and Impact Site

2021-2023: Building the Foundations

• Streamlined focus with 43 active initiatives.
• Balanced distribution with 22 legislative (51%) and 21 statutory initiatives (49%).
• Emphasis on accessibility: Open invitations for all LEAs in three universal statutory programs – District Spotlights, Leadership Institute, and Open Door and four legislatively required programs -21CSLA, Learning Acceleration System Grant (CoP), research-practice partnerships, and fee for service.
• Free resources galore: 2022-2023 yielded 10/21 statutory and 11/22 legislative initiative resources.

THE JOURNEY SO FAR:

• Past Framework (2021-2023): Direct Impact (e.g., personalized professional learning) and Indirect Impact (e.g., online resources access).
• Current Framework (2023-2024): Aligns with the Statewide System of Support mapping of resources and defines impact derived from the A Pragmatic Playbook for Impact by Cortez and Wade of Bellwether Education Partners. Categories include:
  • Direct, widespread, and systemic impact.
  • Universal, targeted, and intensive support.

FORECASTING PROGRESS:

• Stability and Depth: Limited addition of new projects, ensuring steady engagement and collaboration.
• A Shift in Focus: Prioritizing relationship-building and dissemination pathways. Fewer but more impactful resources like the Universal Design for Learning Journey Guide.
• Anticipated Engagement: Consolidation over expansion, aiming for quality interactions and deeper partnerships.
