The Collaborative for Equity and Justice in Education (CEJE)
is a hub for the development of transformative models of urban education.
In collaboration with teachers, students, community members,
and community organizing efforts, CEJE provides opportunities for teacher
development, conducts research, and develops education policy rooted in
social justice. By education for social justice we mean curricula,
teaching practices, social relations, school cultures, and school-family-community
connections that develop social awareness, personal and collective agency,
and high levels of academic achievement.
