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 results frequent, risk-free writing assignments to increase academic engagement
  • thousands of teachers and more than four million student-users nationwide
