History

Since 2013, California Education Partners has partnered with over 100 districts across California to improve their student outcomes. Over the years, our collaborations have delivered promising results: participating districts have built greater instructional capacity and seen measurable gains in student outcomes. Our current work is built upon a strong foundation of research and experience, including lessons learned from our previous collaborations.

Math in Common

Math in Common® (MiC), established in 2013 with significant support from the S.D. Bechtel, Jr. Foundation, was a collaboration of diverse California school districts working together to learn from and support one another in the transition to the Common Core State Standards for Math (CCSS-M) in grades K-8. MiC used a Continuous Improvement framework to build internal capacity in districts by analyzing their system, determining root causes of problems, and testing researched based change ideas to close inequitable gaps in student outcomes.

CA Language & Learning Innovation Collaborations (CALLI)

From 2019 to 2021, participating districts focused on deepening their learning and improving student outcomes in one of our three focal areas: High School Math, Academic Language and Early Literacy, as well as spreading best practices in continuous improvement across their district in order to build their own lasting improvement infrastructure. In doing so, districts and their schools engaged in deep learning and systems improvement work that allowed them to build a culture of continuous improvement, learn new skills, refine systems and tools, share best practices, learn from expert thought partners, and implement dynamic new strategies – all in service of improving outcomes for students.
