Private School Collaborative
Learn More
The CESA 6 Private Schools Collaborative brings together curriculum and instruction leaders, principals, and administrators from private schools across Wisconsin to strengthen instruction and support student success.
Through quarterly virtual meetings, participants explore relevant DPI updates, share practices in literacy and instruction, and receive information about Wisconsin state assessments, including Forward, PreACT, and ACT.
