We began 2018 hopeful that real substantive changes to education policy and practice will again come to our schools and children this year. We renewed our focus on ensuring that America is prepared to deliver on its promise of opportunity so that every child - and learners at all levels - especially the underprivileged and those in greatest need, have access to every innovation and opportunity they need to set them up to become truly global citizens, and to be ready for anything they decide to take on in the future!
To that end, CER is actively building bridges across industries not typically connected in our space - EdReform to EdTech, to Higher Ed, to business, to workforce and apprenticeship advocates, to community development actors to entrepreneurs at every level.
Each of these actors share our commitment to ensuring that advanced solutions in learning - like personalized learning - and breakthrough products and companies are deployed to enrich education and transform classrooms for the future, lifelong learning to help people accomplish their dreams and find meaningful work and careers. To do that, though, it takes significant policy changes, and shifting the focus of how we spend tax dollars, from programs that long have outlived their usefulness to the best innovations that public-private partnerships can bring.
So while we know that Valentine's Day is no time for resolutions, we are so full of love for the work and those we serve that we are recommitting today to getting it all done, no matter what it takes, and invite you to help us make it happen. Here are just a few of the sweet pursuits we've undertaken:
Charter Laws
End Inequity, Insist on Independent Multiple Authorizers & ensure a wide berth for Innovation
Parent Power!
Increase Availability of Education Data to Families; Institutionalize A Parent's Right to A Choice in Their Child's Education Across the Country
Education, Workforce & Apprenticeship Tax-Credit Scholarships
Establish a new federal initiative
Infrastructure
Fixing the schools can restore the main streets of America. Drive digitally-powered solutions through new spending
Unions + the Ed Establishment
Expose Collective Bargaining Practices, Inform the Teaching Profession
Rural America
Demonstrate how increased options from Pre-K through Higher Ed can save these fragile communities
It's a joy to be able to say not only, Happy Valentine's Day!, but thank you for showing all kids the love they need to be successful. Donate now so we can translate that love into action.
Founded in 1993, the Center for Education Reform aims to expand educational opportunities that lead to improved economic outcomes for all Americans — particularly our youth — ensuring that conditions are ripe for innovation, freedom and flexibility throughout U.S. education.
