The mission of the CBEE  is to drive the debate beyond the usual questions of “if” we should have standards or accountability or “where” those standards should be set to instead demonstrate that standards can and are being met. CBEE focuses our attention on improving student achievement and giving a voice to those that schools and districts that are raising academic achievement and closing achievement gaps.

High achievement is happening across all ethnic and socioeconomic lines in every corner of the state. By connecting low performing schools with high performing schools with similar student populations in an organized way, we dispel the myths often used as excuses for the lack of performance.

CBEE works with the media and public opinion leaders to bring this strategy to scale and help low performing schools replicate the best practices found in the high performing schools. When this is done in an organized campaign, all schools in California can get 100% of their kids to grade level.
