Welcome to the Blog for the Connecticut Council for Education Reform! We at CCER want this to be a platform for you to keep abreast of important education issues and the “go to place” for education events, to expand your awareness of particular education topics, and to share the knowledge you already have! This space will provide you with:

• A constantly updated calendar of noteworthy education events – from regular State Board of Education meetings to public hearings to upcoming conferences (sign up for our Monday morning news blast of weekly events);
• Engaging insight into some of today’s most important education issues, which will be grouped thematically;
• Clear access to the many voices on these issues, through guest blog entries as well as our own; and
• An opportunity to share your own ideas about education policy, either by posting comments, or by contacting us if you are interested in guest blogging.

We can’t wait to get started! This week, we intend to have a rich conversation about the potential economic impacts of education reform in the State of Connecticut. In the meantime, we invite you to get to know us better. Take a look at our website, and at our Report on a 10-year plan to improve K-12 education!
