The Field Guide

Accelerating Learning, Equity and Well-Being

Leading and learning continues to evolve as we face new challenges and find new opportunities to best meet the needs of young people during extraordinary times. To help leadership teams continue to develop their educational systems and serve their communities in 2021 and beyond, the CCEE has created The Field Guide for Accelerating Learning, Equity and Well-Being. 

The Field Guide provides LEAs with tools to reflect on key lessons learned from 2020, plan a safe return to campus, respond to logistical needs of scheduling, develop effective communication plans, create continuity of learning, facilitate goal-setting, gain inspiration for what lies ahead, and more. It is an evolving compendium of curated resources from many California LEAs, partners, and educators to help us reimagine education together. We invite you to check back often for more resources and tools.
