Exploring Ecosystems in Community: Insights, Questions, and Collaborative Learning Alin Bennett, Education Reimagined, October 2023

Designed to Thrive  I’m proud to be one of the forty learner-centered practitioners, experts, systems thinkers, and young people Education Reimagined brought together to explore and imagine a future of thriving learner-centered ecosystems. The result, Designed to Thrive, is a guidebook to equitable learner-centered ecosystems.

From our group’s collective expertise, experience, and creativity, this guide emerged with frameworks and insights to support on-the-ground systems reinvention. I hope it leaves you feeling as excited about opportunities for invention as I am! https://designedtothrive.education-reimagined.org/
