Communities of Excellence
Delaware Communities of Excellence’s goal is to enhance the quality of life for all Delawareans. The initial work is developing a seamless, comprehensive literacy system as a foundation to ensure equity for all.
The Delaware COE collaborative employs a collective impact approach, because large-scale social change requires broad, cross-sector coordination.
