Welcome to the CALIE Community
Educators are among the most powerful leaders in our state.
We create learning that matters, adapt to constant change, and inspire possibility every single day.
For more than four decades, the CUEmmunity harnessed that power by sharing ideas at conferences, learning from each other’s classrooms, and leaning on one another through times of change. We grew into a community of educators who believe in the power of innovation and in the strength that comes from not doing this work alone.
But innovation in education isn’t just about tools or technology. It’s about rethinking how schools adapt, how teachers lead, and how educators connect and support each other in the real work of teaching and learning.
That’s why we evolved. CUE is now CALIE: the California Association for Leading Innovation in Education.
CALIE exists to give teachers, school leaders, and innovators the confidence, tools, and experiences to design classrooms and schools that really work for today’s learners, while also amplifying their professional and leadership goals.
Our Belief
We believe in the power of educators.
We are the local leaders sparking meaningful learning, even when the challenges are tough.
We push big ideas forward,
We lean on each other for support
We know that innovation in education is about people, not just technology.
It’s about using innovation to break down barriers to learning.
It’s about unlocking potential.
And we believe that together, anything is possible.
