Together, we can create better outcomes for students
California Education Partners activates the collective power of education professionals to drive sustainable improvements for California’s historically underserved students.
PK-3 and 8th-9th District Collaborations
Given the tremendous demands on school districts, many well-intentioned efforts fail to establish the systems that consistently deliver coherent high-quality instruction and learning. California Education Partners works with districts to build scalable systems, cutting through the noise to help leaders focus on what works.
Research Practice Partnerships
To create meaningful change districts need to secure research evidence to guide their decisions. California Education Partners’ Research-Practice Partnerships (RPPs) program matches district leaders with education researchers at universities to explore the most pressing needs of their schools and districts.
A-G Graduates Step by Step
Modesto City Schools Superintendent Sara Noguchi says “To ask a group of teachers, principals, central office staff, to do something new, that was a hard sell, but I just said, trust me. Trust me in this. And, if it's really too much and it's not hitting the mark at the end of the year, then we can walk away. Now we're opening up our third cohort. So they've seen the benefit. Teachers see the benefit, principals see the benefit, and central sees the benefit.”
Reaping the Benefits of TK
Starting with the 2025-2026 school year any California public school district operating a kindergarten must also provide a transitional kindergarten (TK) program for all children who turn four years old by September 1. Transitional kindergarten has the potential to close enormous equity gaps in third grade proficiency, benefiting all students and the entire K-12 school system.
