Advocates Network

Advocates Network visual (1)
GEC meets every second Tuesday of the month at 4:30pm to hear from you and share opportunities where you can take action as an advocate for adequate and equitable funding for Colorado's K12 public schools!
In each meeting, we listen to different perspectives, learn about current issues in school funding, and activate our leadership by taking action together.

It’s going to take all of us to demand and deliver fully, fairly funded public schools across the state. Our goal with the Get It Done! campaign is to offer a variety of resources for participants with various levels of knowledge and experience. We also built a tiered structure for engagement to allow folks to join however they can and encourage increased participation over time. Whatever your background and capacity, there’s a place in this fight for you.

Each action you take as part of the Get It Done! campaign – completing an online action, attending a monthly Advocates Network meeting, making a donation, etc. – will earn you more points. Accruing more points comes with fun benefits and opportunities for recognition. When you gain enough points to reach the Action Ambassador level, you will be invited to take on a leadership role within Get It Done! We will guide you through this process – be sure to check your email, including your promotions or spam inbox, for next steps from us.

LEARN ABOUT THE ACCOUNTABILITY PROCESS FOR IMPLEMENTATION

Every student should have an honest, inclusive, comprehensive education.

There have been revisions made to the Social Studies standards that Great Ed is monitoring the implementation across the state

Great Education Colorado supports the triennial process for standards and believes all standards should be inclusive, transparent, and comprehensive for all students.

Click here to read the  Social Studies Revisions.  In November, the State Board of Education DECIDED to accept the original social studies standards or the new revisions.
