Redesigning Public Systems So All Learners Can Thrive

Learner-Centered Collaborative’s 2025 Impact Report showcases how we are redesigning public systems by combining deep partnership, networks, and field-building with the ultimate goal of creating the conditions where all learners can thrive.

  • Stories from our partners, including Muhlenberg County Public Schools, Colorado Springs Schools District 11, and Santa Ana Unified School District.
  • Highlights from our national convenings and network experiences.
