“Partnering with CCM Education Group was the turning point for our school’s culture and retention strategy. Before his training, we were struggling to move beyond performative equity work. But with his guidance, we learned how to operationalize belonging — not just talk about it.
Two years later, we’ve retained over 80% of our educators of color — across teaching, leadership, and support roles. That’s not luck. That’s brave strategy. We’ve shifted how we onboard, how we listen, and how we lead.
Craig doesn’t offer band-aids. He builds capacity. And every school serious about equity should be learning from him.”
— Dr. R. Harris, Head of School, PK–12 Independent School (Northeast Region)
