CREEED HIGH-PERFORMING SEATS STRATEGY

In December 2018, the CREEED Board of Directors approved a 5 Year Plan for implementation of our High-Performing Seats Strategy.  For more information on how you can support our efforts please contact us.  

A copy of that plan can be downloaded below.

The Council on Regional Economic Expansion and Educational Development (CREEED) is a not-for-profit organization focused on increasing the number of high-performing seats in El Paso’s public education system. We accomplish this by investing in initiatives that are creating measurable outcomes to close the achievement gap for El Paso students. We support organizations, initiatives, policies, and metrics that prepare students to succeed in college and in our future workforce.

CREEED’s efforts are focused on increasing the quality of education that students receive in El Paso. Our efforts fall into three categories: Increasing Student Attainment; Increasing Teacher Talent & Leadership Development; and Increasing Parent and Community Engagement.​

INCREASING STUDENT ATTAINMENT

• CREEED supports efforts within the region’s Independent School Districts to create a portfolio of high performing schools and increase the college readiness of El Paso students. We also work to bring additional high performing school options to the region, including free public charter schools.
  
  

INCREASING TEACHER & LEADERSHIP TALENT DEVELOPMENT

• In line with expanding the number of high performing seats within the public education system, CREEED supports the implementation of innovative teacher and administrator training programs as well as efforts to bring new innovative and proven talent development solutions to the region.

INCREASING PARENT & COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT

• CREEED supports efforts to provide parents, business leaders and the community with information and opportunities to become more involved in the education of our children, and promotes local policy and programmatic decisions that ensure increased student attainment.
• An important element in these efforts is to detail the quality education options available among the ISDs in the region as well as other non-traditional public school options within the region, so that parents can assess which opportunities will work best for their children and their educational goals.  Once this compendium is put together, the ability to choose among such options will provide parents with an informed choice of educational quality.
