ENSURING EDUCATIONAL EXCELLENCE FOR THE FUTURE OF OUR STUDENTS
ENSURING EDUCATIONAL EXCELLENCE FOR THE FUTURE OF OUR STUDENTS
CREEED supports initiatives that provide teachers and administrators with increased professional and leadership development opportunities. Our efforts focus on attracting, training and developing educators that can provide results for students across the region.

Highly trained and motivated principals and teachers are key to increasing student educational attainment. They set expectations and culture on campus and the classroom; and can drive results for their student populations. In order for our region to strengthen the quality of learning taking place at our schools, we need to provide our educators with the knowledge and training they need to succeed. That knowledge and training should align with in-demand careers and skills required of students to convert their learning and education into lifelong opportunities.

CREEED is working with education institutions within our region to identify opportunities and challenges within the region’s educator development programs. We also support initiatives that increase the professional skills of teachers and educational leaders and at the same time, CREEED is seeking to develop effective partnerships with area colleges and universities, and successful national educator development initiatives, to increase the opportunities for our region’s educators to improve their skills using new, innovative approaches to teaching.
School Leadership Development
As with any management team, creating a culture of success begins at the top. Experienced and engaged principals and school leaders have a tremendous impact on the professional growth of teachers as well as the educational outcomes of students. CREEED supports efforts that provide enhanced leadership development. We continuously explore opportunities to support regional efforts as well as efforts to attract and cultivate seasoned school administrator training programs to El Paso focused on expanding the number of high performing seats and schools. The lessons drawn from other examples of increasing educational attainment are a primary consideration. CREEED also encourages dialogues between the academic and professional communities about the needs of El Paso’s future workforce and how school curricula can better align with these needs.
Teacher Development
Teachers play an essential role in increasing student educational attainment. They are the gatekeepers for educational outcomes in our region. In addition to efforts that strengthen school leadership, CREEED is equally focused on identifying and supporting initiatives that can attract and produce more skilled teachers in our region. This includes initiatives that allow more teachers to pursue additional degrees and certifications to expand their pedagogical range as well as initiatives that expose teachers to new skills and learning models they can deploy in their classrooms.
