We are excited to share the new report, Ecosystems for the Future of Learning, a collaboration between Education Reimagined and The History Co:Lab, commissioned by the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching.
In an era where our society is facing deep, existential challenges of belonging, democracy, and trust, community-based, learner-centered ecosystems offer a path forward. Coming together for their creation and development is an opportunity as a nation to directly address those challenges in the act of creating anew for a new way of being. We’re committed to exploring the development of these ecosystems within communities ready to transform public education systems.
The Ecosystems for the Future of Learning report provides an in-depth examination of innovative frameworks and exciting approaches emerging from sites across the country. It underscores the importance of community-based, learner-centered ecosystems and offers:
- A landscape analysis of thirteen communities creating essential components of learning ecosystems
- A framework that emerged from the analysis and can be used by communities to consider their readiness and appetite for this transformation
- An invitation to communities to explore and discover their own path for reimagining education
- A call for national and regional institutions to listen, learn from, and create the conditions for communities to pursue their visions
We are thrilled to see how this report can help people understand what’s possible, and how to approach the exploration of ecosystems in their communities. As you read the report, we invite you to engage with us and explore ways in which you can support the development of learner-centered ecosystems and contribute to the transformation of public education throughout the United States.
