There is a Chinese proverb that states“Learning is like rowing upstream; not to advance is to drop back.”

To this end, we at Cooperative Educational Services (C.E.S.), the regional educational service center to

the seventeen school districts serving over 124,000 students in lower Fairfi eld County, Connecticut, strive to

fulfi ll our agency’s mission statement “to identify and provide quality educational opportunities for educators,

students, families and communities.”

We meet our Mission Statement not only by running our school readiness, special education and

magnet school programs for approximately 1,000 students but also by providing a myriad of services to

member districts that would be more costly for them to procure on their own. Examples include special

education transportation and audiological consultations. Likewise, by brokering multi-district contracts, C.E.S.

provides cost-effective purchasing opportunities for services. We are a district resource for grant coordination,

implementation of State and Federal educational initiatives, technical assistance, and staff development. Our

Professional Development Services division is the “go to” place for our member districts seeking advanced

training in cutting-edge initiatives.

C.E.S. is well regarded throughout the state for its high quality programs, both in terms of direct student services

and professional assistance to school districts. Now, more than ever, it is critical that all school districts take

action to build internal capacity, fi nd cost effi ciencies, and maximize the impact of every dollar spent to

support student growth and achievement. C.E.S. is here to help and lead the way.

Activities & ServicesActivities & Services

Meeting NeedsMeeting NeedsAt Cooperative Educational Services we believe in the

process of continuous improvement. Each year we adjust our

programming to meet the needs of our member districts. As a result,

gathering data to evaluate our success and determine our focus and

priorities is a continuous process at C.E.S. We hold council

meetings for various education professionals such as special

education directors, curriculum specialists, assistant

superintendents, school principals, subject area specialists, human

resources personnel, and technology coordinators. During these

council meetings we solicit feedback from our members to help

us determine future initiatives. The executive director also meets

monthly with the C.E.S. Representative Council, and with the

superintendents of member districts. All of the divisions at C.E.S.

hold meetings with their constituents so that our services are

customized to meet the unique needs of each district.

The Leadership Institute @ C.E.S., which is a separate entity

comprised of leaders from our participating member districts,

meets quarterly to address the continuum of leadership needs

from teacher leadership to administrative leadership. Through

dialogue with the Leadership Institute Board, we are able to

stablish programs and support that refl ect the needs of our

member districts.

The strategic planning process involves constituents from our

member districts and the communities we serve. Objectives are

rewritten and an action plan for each goal is developed. C.E.S.

also encourages strong parental involvement. Each year, our

Special Education division solicits feedback from parents, and

our Six to Six Interdistrict Magnet School meets regularly with the

School Planning and Management Team (SPMT), made up of

both parents and staff. The Regional Center for the Arts (RCA)

has an active parent advisory group supporting fundraising

efforts and all of RCA’s student productions. We are also in

continuous contact with representatives from the State

Department of Education in order to assist our districts

state mandates such as school improvement plans, policy

development, and new teacher education and mentoring

(TEAM).

As a service center, we must always be prepared to assist our

districts according to their individual needs. We compile an

annual profi le of our member districts that includes their goals,

school data reports, comprehensive school improvement plans,

and additional relevant information to further customize our

services. Often state or federal mandates, or economic

conditions determine needs. We strive to provide lower cost

options to satisfy the needs of our member districts. The

Leadership Team at C.E.S. is comprised of the executive

director, the associate executive director/special education

director, the chief fi nancial and operations offi cer, the director of

our Professional Development Services division, the directors

of our magnet schools, the director of our School Readiness

program, and the manager of Human Resources. Our team

meets collectively and individually with key constituents to obtain

recommendations in planning future programs and services.

There are several divisions within C.E.S. Special Education

which offer services for children from birth to three years, and

provides learning and instruction for students with a variety of

disabilities from age three through 21.

Six to Six Magnet School/Thurgood Marshall Middle School and

the Regional Center for the Arts both provide innovative programs

and educational choice options for students and families.

Human Resources manages internal hiring and staff support,

and provides fi ngerprinting services for educators and student

teachers throughout the state.

Administrative Services manages business operations, facilities,

transportation and technology services.

School Readiness is a program for Bridgeport preschool

students.

Professional Development Services (PDS) provides high quality

training for staff in the areas of curriculum, instruction, assessment,

strategic planning, school improvement, data-driven decision-

making, grant development, interdistrict programming, program

development and evaluation, magnet school recruitment and

technology.

Executive Searches at C.E.S. provides a comprehensive process

of community research, recruitment, selection and transition for

school districts in need of fi lling superintendent, central offi ce

and principal vacancies.

In The NewsIn The News

in our Member Districts

For the past 15 years, Fairfi eld resident Dorothy Daruka, a retired

employee of People’s United Bank, has volunteered her time

to read to elementary students at Six to Six Interdistrict Magnet

School on The School Volunteer Association (SVA) of Bridgeport’s

Read Aloud Day which was held on October 21, 2010.

“I originally became involved in the program through work

in 1995,” explained Ms. Daruka. “When I retired in 2000, I still

wanted to participate so I’ve continued to read to students here

on Read Aloud day, as well as other days throughout the year.”

“I love coming to read at Six to Six because it’s apparent that

learning is taking place and children are being impacted,” she

explained. “Teachers here don’t look at teaching like a job. They

are amazing. They really care about the education and growth

of the students.”

2010 marks SVA’s twenty-fi fth anniversary of Bridgeport’s Read

Aloud Day in which volunteers read age-appropriate books that

are then donated to the school to all students in grades PreK-6.

An estimated 630 volunteers read in 32 Bridgeport schools.

Six to Six is a science, mathematics and technology-focused

interdistrict magnet school which offers before and afterschool

programs from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. Currently, students who live in

Fairfi eld, Monroe, Trumbull, Stratford. Bridgeport and other

surrounding towns attend the full day Preschool through

grade 8 public school.

Bridgeport, visit: svabridgeport.org.

SPECIAL EDUCATIONSPECIAL EDUCATIONDuring the year, C.E.S., along with other the other fi ve regional

educational service centers, received a contract to support

a resource counselor initiative with the goal of facilitating and

strengthening working relationships between the Bureau of

Rehabilitation Services (BRS) and area school districts related

to students transitioning from school to adult employment. This

initiative began in February and will run until June 2012.

SIX TO SIX MAGNET SCHOOLSIX TO SIX MAGNET SCHOOLSix to Six Magnet School was awarded a 21st Century Learning

Environment Grant from the State Department of Education which

infused technology into world language instruction. Students and

staff utilized iPods, Skype and online assessments to engage in

authentic learning experiences and communication with native

speakers.

SCHOOL READINESSSCHOOL READINESSAll three of our head teachers and the Director

participated in Triad training at Housatonic Community College.

This training was geared to strengthen the relationship between

the supervising instructor and the cooperating teachers (preschool

settings) to ultimately achieve an optimal experience for the

student teachers in fi eld placements. Our goal is for C.E.S. School

Readiness to develop into a laboratory school site for early

childhood majors at Housatonic Community College.

Two head teachers also participated in the Bridgeport School

Readiness Intentional Teaching Initiative to foster the use of the

Connecticut Preschool Curriculum and Assessment Framework.

REGIONAL CENTER FOR THE ARTSREGIONAL CENTER FOR THE ARTSDuring the 2010-11 school year we created a single school-wide

document outlining what students should be able to do as a

result of attending RCA. Professional development was focused

on classroom practices and, compared to previous years, the

percentage of students achieving or exceeding our minimum

GPA increased while student absences decreased.

PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT SERVICESPROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT SERVICESThis past year, Professional Development Services staff were

frequently asked to provide support in the areas of data

analysis, curriculum development and assessment. The State

Department of Education has grown dependent on the services

of the RESC Alliance to train and monitor school staff in highly

effective practices that can translate into student results.

Another program emphasis for PDS was in the area of Positive

Behavior Support. School administrators are concerned about

school climate and the infl uence it has on student learning. PDS

successfully completed a Year One training for fi ve schools from

three districts as our fi rst cohort.

The range of services we provide continues to broaden as we

focus to meet the needs of our stakeholders and partners.

Changes for the future...Changes for the future...SPECIAL EDUCATIONSPECIAL EDUCATIONThe division will open its new facility addition in the fall of 2011.

The addition includes three classrooms, a new recreation center,

a therapeutic center for therapeutic day program students, a

library media center, an activities of daily living center, a

parent resource center and six new offi ces for all special education

programs at the Oakview Drive facility. The addition also

includes a new classroom for art and a new classroom for science

instruction that will be used by all programs.

SIXSIX TOTO SIX MAGNET SCHOOLSIX MAGNET SCHOOLSix to Six Magnet School will focus professional development

on the new Common Core State Standards with regard to

curriculum development, revision and alignment. We will also

implement Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports

(PBIS) in our middle school in an effort to improve school-wide

expectations for students and staff.

SCHOOL READINESSSCHOOL READINESSThe Early Screening Inventory will be used as a developmental

screening tool to screen all students within three months of

program entry. The results from the screening will be used to make

referrals to appropriate professionals, when needed.

REGIONAL CENTER FOR THE ARTSREGIONAL CENTER FOR THE ARTSIn our effort to provide students with a unique performing arts

education experience, we will continue to explore mutually

benefi cial relationships with area arts organizations. We also

actively seek artists who work with our students in master

classes. Past examples of master class presenters include

members of dance companies, Broadway actors, concert

artists, music producers, a casting director and theater technical

artists.

PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT SERVICESPROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT SERVICESPDS initiatives will focus on the new Connecticut Standards as

schools will be asked to rewrite curriculum scope and sequences,

pacing guides and other key instructional guiding documents

for the future. This is in response the state rollout of new national

curriculum standards that have been adopted by Connecticut

and a new student assessment system beginning in the 2014-2015

school year.

PDS will expand our delivery systems for professional

development with the use of webinars, blogs, wikis, online

meetings and online courses. Our PBIS training program will triple

this coming year with more schools coming to Year One training

and the original fi ve moving on the Year Two training.

The Six to Six Interdistrict Magnet School/Thurgood

Marshall Middle School for Social Justice is a regional

magnet school, located in Bridgeport, educating students from

Pre-Kindergarten through grade 8. The magnet focus is science,

mathematics, and technology. We have developed long-term

partnerships with the Maritime Aquarium at Norwalk, the Eli

Whitney Museum, NASA, and The Jason Project.

Six to Six/TMMS has adopted the Comer/Zigler model (CoZi) of

school governance and family support. Our School Planning

and Management Team (SPMT) consists of representatives from

every constituency of our school community. The SPMT has led

initiatives on the development of curriculum, school-family-

community partnerships, and school policies and procedures.

Our Family Resource Center provides parenting workshops, after-

school homework help for students, toddler playgroups, and

individualized family assistance conferences. The school is

designed to assist families who are balancing their desire for

quality education with their childcare needs. The school is open

from 6:00 am to 6:00 pm to provide before and after school

care.

Six to Six/TMMS is a Responsive Classroom school. The social

curriculum is as important as the academic curriculum.

Therefore, we incorporate strategies in our classrooms that bring

together social and academic learning throughout the day.

Enrollment at Six to Six/TMMS is through an application/lottery

process that was developed to ensure diversity in our student

population. Enrollment was 452 students.

Open ChoiceOpen ChoiceThe Open Choice program is an interdistrict program with the goal

of improving academic achievement, reducing racial, ethnic, and

economic isolation, and providing a choice of educational

programs for students enrolled in public schools. Through Open

Choice, a student may attend a school outside of his or her home

district.

Participating school districts annually declare how many seats may

be available, and students are chosen through a lottery from the

pool of applicants. For the 2010-11school year over 450 applications

were received for 16 openings. Once placed in a school district,

students continue in that district until graduation from high school.

During the 2010-11 school year 184 students from Bridgeport were

enrolled in the school district of Easton, Fairfi eld, Stratford,

Trumbull, Weston and Westport.

The Regional Center for the Arts is a part time interdistrict

magnet school located in Trumbull. Our mission is to bring

together people of diverse cultural heritage to develop in all

students the knowledge, skills, attitudes and self discipline to

reach their fullest artistic potential, to live a productive life and to

contribute to society as creative engaged citizens.

We offer our diverse student body of high school students an

opportunity to develop their creative potential working with

performers as teachers with the dual aims of having students

better understand themselves and others, and to expose them

to the skills and techniques they will need if they are to pursue

a career in the performing arts. After taking academic classes

at their home high school, our students are transported to RCA

where they attend from 1:45-4:30.

Regional Center for the ArtsRegional Center for the ArtsIn the 2010-11 school year our students studied dance, theater,

music, video production, and musical theater. and demonstrated

their learning in 22 performances of 15 separate productions in

either our main theater or black box theater.

is an active partner in supporting our students. Among other

activities, P.O.P.S. awards scholarships to college bound seniors

C.E.S. School Readiness is a full-day, full-year National

Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC)

accredited childcare program serving 54 Bridgeport children

between the ages of 2.9 and 5 years. Our hours are from 7:30 a.m.

to 5:30 p.m., 50 weeks per year. Each child is required to attend a

minimum of six hours each day.

Our program philosophy centers on the belief that each child is

a unique learner with his/her own cultural identity, learning style,

temperament, and developmental pattern. Each of these factors

infl uences how each child learns and grows; development and

learning are interconnected in the preschool years.

We believe that each child’s family is an important

partner in the daily care and education of their children.

Our Family Advisory Board, which meets throughout the year to

discuss policies, procedures, curriculum, and family advocacy,

supports our program’s mission.

Teachers strive to know each child as an individual and to work

in partnership with the family to know, understand, and plan

appropriate learning experiences for each child in their care.

C.E.S. School Readiness uses The Creative Curriculum for

Preschool, a comprehensive curriculum which focuses on

the child’s growth and development in the personal/social,

physical, cognitive and creative domains. Our staff also

utilizes The Connecticut Preschool Curriculum and Assessment

Frameworks to plan for and assess each individual child.

This year our waiting list grew to over 150 students. We had 27

available slots.
