Charting a Path for the Future: The Strategic Plan of Summit Education Initiative

Summit Education Initiative exists to help Summit County schools achieve excellence, beginning with kindergarten readiness and ending with post-secondary education.

  • SEI collaborates with education stakeholders to forge improvements across Summit County
  • SEI identifies and ensures the Summit County education system benefits from the best solutions to its challenges
  • SEI uses its expertise to help Summit County educators better leverage their capabilities
  • SEI builds awareness and support among stakeholders for ongoing engagement and investment in Summit County education
  • SEI tracks and publicizes results

As a facilitator for quality education in Summit County, primarily through its Cradle to Career Alliance (formerly known as P-16 (primary through secondary education Council) SEI provides data and research expertise to define issues, support resource requests and focuses on results.

  • SEI augments school districts’ grant writing capacity, pulling together districts’ expertise and coordinates multi-stakeholder applications
  • SEI engages civic and business expertise to support education in and out of the classroom
  • SEI supports educators’ professional development aligned with its education priorities

Using data, local knowledge and national best practices, SEI helps prioritize needs and identify practical, innovative solutions, engages educators and administrators to drive problem solving, and focuses on systemic impact.

In the end, SEI will be a catalyst for a high-quality, high-achieving Summit County education system.
