Learner-Centered Ecosystem Research Databook

BY Domonique Edwards, PhD

Across communities, education and community leaders are working together in new ways to support young people’s learning across settings. These efforts, often described as learner-centered ecosystems, bring together schools, community-based organizations, businesses, and public agencies, as well as resources, to create more connected, equitable, and responsive systems of learning.

This databook shares early findings on how learner-centered ecosystems are developing and operating in practice. It draws on data from Education Reimagined’s first Ecosystem Lab Cohort, a community of practice that brings together leaders working to build and strengthen learner-centered ecosystems in partnership with their local communities.
