Mission
The Mission of SF-CESS is to interrupt and transform current and systemic educational inequities to ensure all students have access to personalized, equitable, and high-performing schools that believe and demonstrate each student can, should, and will succeed.
We achieve our mission by providing coaching, technical assistance, and professional development to a network of school communities that share core values in high-leverage areas of:
 | Powerful and Effective Teaching and Learning. |
| Explicit, Shared and Leveraged Instructional Leadership. |
| Thoughtful School Design and Professional Development. |
| Caring Community Connections for Additional Student Support. |
Vision
It is our Vision that schools will function as sustainable learning communities in which every child is known well and whose practices, based in inquiry, are explicitly focused on equity and achievement.
Our vision is grounded in three core beliefs:
| A “learning community” requires ALL members of that community to be dedicated to lifelong learning. |
| Ensuring “every child is known well” requires our schools to focus on personalization. |
| “Inquiry focused on equity and achievement” demands our schools to be driven by results defined from the data of our students, their achievement and experiences, and our schools’ success to serve them. |
