| Mission: |
The goal of the Coalition of Essential Schools - New Jersey (CES-NJ) is to advance high achievement and deep understanding for all students through supporting schools' efforts to put the Common Principles of the Coalition of Essential Schools into practice. CES NJ works in partnership with a network of 78 New Jersey public schools serving approximately 54000 students. We focus on engaging and challenging students, encouraging reflection and collaboration among educational professionals, working for systemic change through partnerships with school and dsitrict leaders, and involving parents and community in the effort to enhance student learning and achievement. We are committed to data driven decision making as a fundamental component of continuous school improvement. We deeply believe in each student's right to a quality education and and recognize that true school change requires steadfast advocacy for equity in educational support to all communities.
