Shifting a System: The Reimagine Learning Network
Description:
Shifting a system showcases a cross-sector network that coalesced behind a shared vision for K-12 education. Over 6 years, the network created learning environments that unleash creativity and potential in students, including those who have been historically underserved. By scaling models and advocating for policies focused on social and emotional learning, learner diversity, and trauma in classrooms and beyond, this network reimagined how learning happens for over 7 million children nationwide.
