The Christensen Institute and Education Reimagined set out to determine what influences and influencers need to be in play to make decisions in support of learner-centered education. The resulting report, K–12 Value Networks: The hidden forces that help or hinder learner-centered education, includes examples of how value networks can enable a new way of thinking about the education system.
