The Colorado Education Initiative

The Colorado Education Initiative is a privately funded nonprofit that can move quickly to address emerging educational issues and spark innovation in schools throughout Colorado. Founded in 2007, The Colorado Education Initiative is governed by an independent board of trustees that develops initiatives to support the department’s work – innovation, entrepreneurship, 21st-century teaching and learning, and the dissemination of best practices. We help the department leverage scarce resources, convene education groups for dialogue and collaboration, and provide recommendations for sustainability and continuous improvement. Current initiatives focus on enhancing educator effectiveness and promoting student health and wellness.
