For over two decades, Collins
Education Associates (CEA) has worked with K-12 schools (public,
private, and charter) to support school improvement through
focused staff development designed to improve curriculum,
instruction, and assessment. As more states adopt the Common
Core State Standards (CCSS), teachers and administrators need
proven strategies for differentiating instruction and increasing
rigor so that students will successfully meet these new
standards.
Success with the Common Core
begins with a standards–based curriculum, but is achieved only
with highly effective instruction and assessment. The
Collins Writing Program integrates best practices
into a simple, usable, and effective approach that improves
instruction and student engagement through writing across the
curriculum.
Our proven instructional models enhance learning in any subject
area including science, mathematics, and trade classes in career
and technology schools. It has been a cornerstone of school
improvement efforts for years because it features:
- frequent, risk-free writing
assignments to increase academic engagement
- authentic assessments that
quickly measure student performance
- performance tasks that force
students to apply what they know
- a portfolio system that
incorporates both teacher and student reflection
Frequent feedback and
accountability are hallmarks of the Collins Writing Program
and a key to any school improvement initiative. Whether your
school is considered advanced, proficient, adequate, or low
performing, the goal is the same . . . to continuously improve
teaching and learning.
Please explore our website or contact us to discover why we
have:
- over two decades of proven

academic engagement
