Creative Change Educational Solutions was initially started as a proactive solution to help educators transform curriculum for better schools, more impassioned teachers, and fully engaged students. While the initial vision was mine, CCES is not a one-woman show. Our organization features a board of directors, advisors and staff members with expertise in education and other strategic fields. In this way, our evolving story is like an anthology — we gather diverse voices to ensure our work remains effective and ahead of the curve.
With the start of the new year, we’re pleased to announce the 2017-2019 CCES board of directors.
