We’ve all had the experience of truly purposeful, authentic learning and know how valuable it is. Educators are taking the best of what we know about learning, student support, effective instruction, and interpersonal skill-building to completely reimagine schools so that students experience that kind of purposeful learning all day, every day.
10 Years of Next Gen Learning | 2015
Chicago changemakers Phyllis Lockett and Amy Huang offer their perspective on Breakthrough Schools: Chicago, a NGLC Regional Funds grant challenge led by LEAP Innovations.
With Breakthrough Schools: Chicago, a NGLC Regional Funds grant program which began in 2015, LEAP innovations catalyzed next generation learning models in schools across the city of Chicago. In this video, Chicago changemakers Phyllis Lockett and Amy Huang offer their perspective on reimagining whole schools to personalize learning for students and the power of local networks to support innovation and student success.
Through NGLC Regional Funds for Breakthrough Schools, our seven partners catalyzed new school designs in their regions and supported local networks of next gen educators. They continue to spark innovation with their deep commitment to peer networks and designing for equity!
