What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?
Transformative Leadership
Transformative Leadership is needed to drive change in the education sector both in schools and in education systems. It requires bold, creative and innovative thinking. Transformative leaders listen, guide, and motivate others to use change as a positive force to explore innovation and inspire action. They are the heart of inventive, meaningful, and sustainable change in education.
CE International assists in the development of strategic plans for education institutions or programs, creates transformative leadership programs or trainings, elevates original trainings and programs through accreditation and credentialing, and more.
Health and Well-Being
CE International believes that children’s physical, mental, and emotional well-being supports their overall development and learning. Integrated focus on all aspects of health and well-being helps children to grow and learn optimally while building the skills required to reach their full potential.
CE International leverages its network of child health and wellbeing experts to advise and guide in best practices, provides training on social-emotional learning, trauma-informed practices, and other related topics, consults on child-centered education and child-care policies, and more.
Rethinking Education
CE International believes that exploring innovations in education-new creative ways of designing and delivering education- will ensure that all children have access to equitable and quality education. Education leaders must reflect upon current policies and practices and explore new ways of transforming education to address the myriad of challenges in an increasingly complex world.

Charting impact
Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.
What is the organization aiming to accomplish?
CE International develops and amplifies innovative solutions to education challenges.
CE International's goals are aligned with the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) recently adopted by the global community. Specifically, SDG 4 - to ensure inclusive and quality education for all and promote lifelong learning. CE International's goals are:
1. To support countries in making measurable progress toward education-related SDGs - access, equity and quality (primarily SDG 4)
2. To ensure that innovation in education becomes the driving force behind improving learning achievement globally
What are the organization's key strategies for making this happen?

Outreach through digital/print publications and communications, website, social media, marketing, direct service;
And through aggregating, “curating" and sharing innovative practices; original research in partnership with others.
