Designing for Equity
How can we design and teach for equity?
Next gen educators refuse to ignore that K-12 education in the U.S. is inequitable. The challenge of Designing for Equity is keeping it central to each design choice and next gen learning practice.

Why Schools Need to Change
Today’s learners face an uncertain present and a rapidly changing future that demands far different skills and knowledge than we needed in the 20th century.

Learn MoreNew Designs for School
Educators are combining the best of what we know about purposeful, authentic learning with bold ideas about student success to completely reimagine schools.

When educators design and create new schools, and live next gen learning themselves, they take the lead in growing next gen learning across the nation.
Learn MoreReimagining Assessment
Educators are rethinking the purposes, forms, and very nature of assessment, designing assessment for learning as an integral part of the learning process.

Educators often make use of ed tech as they make the shifts in instruction, teacher roles, and learning experiences that next gen learning requires.
