Real prosperity. Lasting security. For communities near and far.

The principles of sustainability—security, prosperity, well-being, democracy—awaken us to consider why we educate.  If sustainability is the ultimate why, then Education for Sustainability (EfS) is the ultimate how.

Creative Change Educational Solutions (CCES) is a national leader in Education for Sustainability.  Based in southeast Michigan, CCES supports K20 leaders and institutions to make EfS the basis of policy and practice.  A comprehensive approach to curriculum transformation and leadership development places food systems, renewable energy, urban revitalization and other sustainability issues at the center of innovation and reform.  CCES’ approach embeds sustainability principles into existing systems, helping institutions transition to new ways of teaching and learning.

Customized programs combine strategic planning, professional development, curriculum licensing and instructional redesign.

If you're ready to rethink curriculum and raise the bar on interdisciplinary content, critical thinking, democratic values, and community engagement, we're ready to help you lead the way. Founded in 1999 by a teacher and staffed by veteran educators and content experts, Creative Change is a nonprofit organization whose work is research-based and built on a foundation of democratic education and equity.
