About Us
The Connecticut Council for Education Reform (CCER) represents the business and civic voices for reform aimed at closing the achievement gap in Connecticut and raising academic outcomes for all students.
CCER is a non-profit, state-wide organization created to:
- Facilitate the implementation of the recommendations of the CT Commission on Educational Achievement;
- Create awareness of CT’s achievement gap and how it affects students and the state’s economy;
- Work with state leaders, lawmakers, and school districts to change policies, and take action towards true education reform;
- Research and track the reform progress and best practices throughout the state, as well as identify areas of improvement;
- Support innovative initiatives to build momentum and capacity for education reform efforts.
We at CCER hope that this blog will be a platform for you to gain insight into some of today's most important education issues, which will be grouped thematically; clear access to the many voices on these issues, through guest blog entries as well as our own; a constantly updated calendar of noteworthy education events - from regular State Board of Education meetings to upcoming conferences; and an opportunity to share your own ideas about education policy, either by posting comments, or by contacting us if you are interested in guest blogging.
So get interested, get involved, and join the discussion!
