California Institute for School Improvement

The California Institute for School Improvement (CISI) joined The Center for Applied Policy in Education (CAP-Ed) and the UC Davis School of Education on July 1, 2012. CISI’s goal is to provide education leaders with unbiased, accurate, up-to-date, and useful information on education policy that is presented in a thoughtful and accessible way. 

We are excited about this new relationship and pledge to continue to provide the high quality of service that has been the hallmark of CISI, as well as to explore ways to provide additional assistance to CISI members.

CISI is organized around the belief that curriculum and instruction matters – it is the central business of schools. CISI is designed to support district and county instructional leaders. Over 140 school districts and county offices of education are currently CISI members.
