GEE is proud of its positive growth and many accomplishments over its 23 year history. Its most significant accomplishments, over the past four years, primary factors of its academies’ current positive trajectories, are related to curriculum, instruction and professional development.
GEE formed representative curriculum research and adoption committees in the subject areas of PREK12 ELA, Math, Social Studies, Science, Arabic and ESL, which resulted in both the adoption and authorship of a unified and universal curriculum across all GEE academies that can be better supported by instructional coaches.
GEE broadened the scope and depth of GEE-wide professional development offerings, creating academy master schedules that allow for GEE-wide Friday Early Release professional development time, three hours per week.
