South Coast Educational Collaborative (SCEC) conducts education programs and services that complement and strengthen the school programs of member districts and increases educational opportunities for all children. Through collaborative efforts, cost efficiencies and program effectiveness are maximized. Our Core values:

The family context and family-school collaboration are essential factors in supporting a student's learning and development. The focus of all members of the SCEC community is on teaching and learning with continuous improvement of the conditions necessary for optimal teaching and learning to occur.

Staff productivity, especially team productivity, means exceeding expectation for student learning, increasing team efficiency, and enhancing individual team members' professional growth.
