CES Phase II

Initial funding has been secured and fundraising continues for Phase II of this project: "Continuing the Conversation." Cardus will facilitate discussions at events across North America into 2013, helping local schools and large school associations utilize CES data, consider their own programs in the context of these benchmarks, and continue increasing the important contribution Christian schools can make to the students they serve as well as society at large.

Two opportunities of Phase II are already available for your school:

1. Compare Your School: The CES report is based on a representative random sampling of schools and graduates. Each sampled school was provided a report which allowed them to compare their local results to the national averages on a wide range of topics. If your school was not selected for sampling, this is your chance to have your school's administrators, teachers, alumni, and parents take the same survey and receive a similar report. Fees are based on cost recovery only. Click here for all the details.
   
   
2. Respond to the Curriculum: After you finish the four guided sessions of CES curriculum (either the parent/supporter set or the teacher/administrator set), facilitators and participants alike are invited to contribute to the data map of North American Christian education. Click here and report back on your school's interaction with CES results.

Support

Cardus would like to acknowledge the generous funding support, over $2 million in total, of several organizations. The Cardus Education Survey, and the free availability of results, anaylsis, and curriculum, is thanks to their vision for improving Christian education.
