When Jane Ono, a teacher at Douglas County North, gave her students control over creating their own writing rubrics, something powerful happened. By analyzing model texts together, students didn't just meet expectations, they set higher standards than traditional teacher-created assessments. This is student-centered learning in action, where ownership drives excellence.

Join us in cheering on our own CEC class of 2021 graduate Luke Henson who will be competing on "Jeopardy!" on March 12th! "I am thankful for Colorado Early Colleges' role in my journey as a lifelong learner, particularly the great texts I read with Ms. Thompson and Ms. Swenson and my years on the Knowledge Bowl team under Mr. Simonds' direction! It was largely with CEC Knowledge Bowl that I prepared the buzzer timing and broad knowledge base that took me to America's favorite quiz show."
