Centering Learners By Design
We are educators, administrators, and change-makers committed to supporting educators, schools, districts, and states realize their vision for learner-centered education.
Why learner-centered education?
In a learner-centered paradigm young people are prepared to embrace challenges, navigate complex situations, leverage technology to solve problems, create efficiencies, and learn how to learn as the world and workplace evolve.
How do we get there?
✔️ Define whole-learner outcomes that take into account skills, habits, knowledge to thrive in a modern world.
✔️ Design meaningful learning experiences to achieve your desired outcomes.
✔️ Create enabling conditions and systems that support the desired outcomes and learning experiences.
