Designing for Equity
How can we design and teach for equity?
Next gen educators refuse to ignore that K-12 education in the U.S. is inequitable. The challenge of Designing for Equity is keeping it central to each design choice and next gen learning practice.

Learn MoreChallenges We Are Working to Solve
Why Schools Need to Change
Today’s learners face an uncertain present and a rapidly changing future that demands far different skills and knowledge than we needed in the 20th century.
Learn MoreDesigning for Equity
Next gen learning serves equity when it takes a cultural lens, values whole person development, and equips students and educators to address injustice.
Learn MoreNew Designs for School
Educators are combining the best of what we know about purposeful, authentic learning with bold ideas about student success to completely reimagine schools.
Learn MoreBuilding Community
When educators design and create new schools, and live next gen learning themselves, they take the lead in growing next gen learning across the nation.
Learn MoreReimagining Assessment
Educators are rethinking the purposes, forms, and very nature of assessment, designing assessment for learning as an integral part of the learning process.
Learn MoreProfessional Learning
If educators are to enable powerful, authentic learning among their students, they need to live that kind of learning and professional culture themselves.
Learn MoreTechnology Tools
Educators often make use of ed tech as they make the shifts in instruction, teacher roles, and learning experiences that next gen learning requires.
Learn MoreEnabling Change
Next gen learning happens when everyone—kids and adults alike—takes charge of their own learning and has the opportunity to do their best possible work.
