Our Mission

We are the business and civic advocates for comprehensive reform efforts to close the achievement gap while raising academic outcomes for all students in Connecticut.

The Connecticut Council for Education Reform is a non-profit, state-wide organization created to:

• Facilitate the implementation of the recommendations of the CT Commission on Educational Achievement;

• Create awareness of CT’s achievement gap and how it affects students and the state’s economy;

• Work with state leaders, lawmakers, and school districts to change policies, and take action towards true education reform;

• Research and track the reform progress and best practices throughout the state, as well as identify areas of improvement;

• Support innovative initiatives to build momentum and capacity for education reform efforts.
