We’re pleased to share six new distinctions for learner-centered ecosystems as an addition to our original Practitioner’s Lexicon. This technical document is intended to help ecosystem builders, educators, and the larger field distinguish a learner-centered ecosystem, as well as the components embedded in it. As with our long-standing Practitioner’s Lexicon, these new distinctions have emerged from what we’ve seen and heard in the field and will evolve as we work with communities on the ground.

Education Reimagined
Education Reimagined is a national nonprofit organization, based in Washington DC, harnessing the power of visionaries across the country to create a new design for public education that is centered around learners and their communities, versus schools. Since its inception, Education Reimagined has successfully furthered the effort to codify, advance, and elevate the field of learner-centered education. Its work now is focused on coalescing the partners, marshaling the funding and resources, and accelerating the R&D process to establish community-based, learner-centered ecosystems as a viable, accountable and sustainable design for public education.
