Working with CEE


The key is not simply that the successful schools have data – it’s who is using the data and how they use the data.
Beat The Odds (2006)

Properly researched and presented, data can paint the picture of reality in a district or a school, providing a solid foundation for improvement decisions and goals. Applying our crafted and tested methods of data-based inquiry, we focus on action research, data analysis and support for the district and school improvement planning process.

We compile a comprehensive portfolio of data from four domains - outcome (student achievement), perceptual (parent, student, staff, leadership), demographic and program/process - all critical to determining specific objectives to improve school performance.

Partnerships
As your needs expand, CEE can link you to additional resources via our active partnership with solutions providers, focused on two specific areas: Professional Development and Strategic Planning. Ask us for details.

The 3 Drivers of Student Performance

Learning, Instruction and Organization are the foundation on which we base our mission: drive improvement in Washington and Idaho schools via data-centric solutions and services that inform and support systemic, sustainable change.

Data without context though is just that – raw information without a structure. Without relevant and timely interpretation, data inevitably falls short of meaningful change.

Emphasizing the 3 Points of Student Performance, the CEE team turns your raw data into relevant and useful information about school performance. WASL, ELL, Title 1, Special Education, Professional Development -- we'll show you how your district measures up, and then help you to put this information into active decisions, reinforcing what's working in your district; reinventing what isn't.

Why work with CEE?

  • Resources: CEE offers a range of data-centric surveys and reports that provide timely feedback and support that meets the needs of your specific demographics. Think of us as your guide on the side where you need us the most.
  • Return: CEE offers the economics of outsourcing. We do all the research and development; you spend district dollars only on solutions for needs that you identify. And through our student achievement analysis, we can work directly with school in your district to understand the specific demographic factors that impact teaching and learning. Understanding these factors (and the needs of the students) identifies intervention throughout the student’s path to graduation.
  • Results: We study, document, analyze and incorporate successful practices into our data-centric solutions every day. Buoyed by our team of experienced educators, we incorporate this data into surveys and reports that quickly and dramatically display your specific needs. From analysis to implementation, our team of assessment experts and consultants apply your findings to spark real and measureable improvement.

Better Data - Better Decisions - Better Schools.

Our solutions are working in more than half the districts in Washington and Idaho – put them to work for you.
