Supporting
Students, Empowering Educators,
Engaging Communities
The
Chicago Education Alliance (CEA) is part
of a national collaborative effort to improve
urban education.
The CEA is part of two national networks:
CEA facilitates communication and
collaboration to support school reform at all
levels of education (K - College) with the goal
of improving learning environments and increasing
the number of students going on to higher education.
The CEA includes seven major universities, the
City Colleges of Chicago, the Chicago Public Schools,
other education organizations, as well as community
organizations and businesses.
The activities of the CEA include:
1) a coordinating agency role in developing and
implementing multiple school-university initiatives;
2) an overseeing role in promoting policy change
and collaborative research; and
3) a supporting role in mobilizing support for
new and existing reform initiatives led by other
agencies.
The Chicago Education Alliance serves as a convening
institution state-wide to address policy, research
and practice issues to improve preK-16 education
in Illinois.
The role the Chicago Education Alliance
plays in the Chicago GEAR
UP Alliance is as an organizer
of the original project and as oversight manager
of the two GEAR UP
awards.
