Where Learning Lives

Across the country, communities are organizing education as a living ecosystem—humane, place-based, and powered by relationships. Education Reimagined’s new report, Where Learning Lives: Insights from the Learner-Centered Ecosystem Lab, shares what we’re learning from twelve such communities.

Rather than a technical blueprint or a summative evaluation, this report offers a living record of how learner-centered ecosystems take shape in practice. It surfaces six cross-cutting insights into systems that are purpose-driven, adaptive, rooted in place, powered by relationships, deeply human, and built for lasting transformation.

We invite you to explore the stories, examples, and guiding questions—and to ask, in your own context, “What can grow here?”

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.
