CCE is a host partner for the Deeper Learning Conference!

Deeper Learning begins with reimagining traditional learning through immersive experiences—especially in the outdoors and with the arts. Our conference theme, A Nexus of Opportunity: Radical Imagination for Learning, recognizes the unique moment we are living in to create transformative learning experiences. Whether you are inspired by the outdoors, the arts, a new piece of technology, or an innovative curriculum—finding ways to think beyond our typical limits can lead to radically new outcomes for youth and families.

School quality and student learning are too complex to be captured by any single test score. Reflecting the full measure of schools and student learning requires a new approach. Join us for the second annual MCIEA forum, where we will explore early lessons from the districts and schools participating in the Massachusetts Consortium for Innovative Education Assessment. Hear from teachers designing meaningful and relevant performance assessments and see how districts are using multiple measures of school quality to improve student learning, school culture, and community engagement.

The Center for Collaborative Education is happy to invite you to our second annual Essential Personalized Learning Spring Convening, Envisioning an Equitable Future through Personalized Learning. Our goal at CCE is to drive equity through personalized learning, providing culturally responsive, equitable learning opportunities for all students in New England and beyond. During this day-long event, you will hear from a number of expert guests, including keynote speaker and education justice advocate Clint Smith, as well as the teachers and students championing this work. Admission for the day-long event is $55, and includes breakfast and lunch.

Breakout sessions cover:

• Choice Theory and student empowerment
• Students' experiences with internships and community engagement
• Capacity building for personalized learning and culturally responsive teaching
• Rigor in a mastery model

New offer: To truly drive equity forward, it takes a dedicated community of educators working collaboratively. That’s why we have an exciting offer to share. All paid registrants for the Spring Convening are invited to bring one colleague for FREE! After you register for the event, you will receive an email with a coupon code for free admission to share.

Over the last 20 years in Massachusetts, we have learned that student and school success cannot be captured by one single assessment. As we look to the future, how can we create a system that measures what our communities most value for our students and schools while empowering teachers as leaders in preparing every student for success? Join the Massachusetts Consortium of Innovative Education Assessment (MCIEA), a partnership of six public school districts and their local teacher unions, to learn about an innovative approach to assessment and accountability that includes performance assessments and multiple measures of school quality. Hear from superintendents, teachers, students, and parents.This event is co-hosted by MCIEA, the Rennie Center, and the Center for Collaborative Education.

A complimentary continental breakfast will be served.

The Getting Personalized Learning Right webinar series focuses on each of the Five Principles of Personalized Learning. We’ll explore how to implement these principles to stir sustainable, equitable, school-wide transformation while avoiding common pitfalls.

We will hear from leaders in the field who will give a close-up look at schools that grappled with successful implementation of these very principles before reflecting on lessons learned. Participants will gain valuable, practical insight into implementing equitable and excellent personalized learning.

The Essential Personalized Learning Institute is a 3-day workshop facilitated by our highly-trained staff who will work with teachers and administrators to create an action plan to bring personalized learning practices to their school or district. Participants will explore CCE's Five Principles, collaborate with like-minded educators from different schools and districts, and experience personalized learning pathways in a professional development setting.

Summer Institute is our Quality Performance Assessment program's annual convening - where our highly-trained staff work with educators to develop their assessment literacy and build their capacity to implement performance assessment systems and accompanying performance tasks in their schools and classrooms.
