Education Reform
Overcoming Obstacles: Making the Most of Life's Challenges and Opportunities
Overcoming Obstacles: Making the Most of Life's Challenges and Opportunities is the story of CEF's education reform effort—from its founding at Jill Siegal Chalsty's kitchen table in Los Angeles in 1992 to the organization's work across the country today. The book shows how a small group of people can bring about significant change in a system of education many feel is beyond hope.
Overcoming Obstacles: Making the Most of Life's Challenges and Opportunities asks the reader to take CEF's cause on as their own. It offers the guidance and tools needed to bring the Overcoming Obstacles curriculum into every child's life.
