| What is the Coalition for Essential Schools? |
CES uses 10 Common Principles to inspire a school community to examine its priorities in the following four areas: school design, classroom practice, leadership, and community connections. The Principles provide a universal thread among Coalition schools. This principle-based approach assumes that rather than being "implementers" - teachers, administrators, and community members are, in fact, "inventors". The faculty and community of a CES school must decide how to apply the Principles in the school's unique context, for the Principles assert powerful ideas about schooling rather than mandating a particular action. No two Coalition schools are exactly alike, even when they are striving to fulfill all of the Common Principles -- and this, in the Coalition's view, is as it should be.
