• $10 million dollar grant to support expanded social impact vision

• Team growing to scale-up our efforts to reimagine what education can be

• Building collection of prototype resources that accelerate meaningful learning

Have you heard our (really!) exciting news? reDesign has been awarded a $10 million grant to launch a set of new, large-scale social impact initiatives advancing learner-centered education models. We couldn’t be more thrilled to build on the future-of-learning design and impact work we’ve been doing over the last fifteen years, and to deepen and expand our partnerships with other innovative, equity-driven folks who share this commitment to learner-centered designs and practices.

In preparation for this period of concentrated innovation and growth, we put out a call to action across our community of educators, thought partners, change leaders, policymakers, and colleagues.  We enthusiastically invite you to:

• • Check out our prototype curriculum assets, all part of reDesign’s “Rigor Toolbox” that we’re currently developing to support meaningful, rigorous, and relevant learning for young people.
  • Explore new career opportunities at reDesign to help us build our social impact, or share them with amazing folks in your network who might be interested! 
  • If you’re an educator, let us know if you’d be interested in a little design research collaboration! We are seeking school-based instructional teams or teachers interested in piloting some of our curricular resources. We’d love to chat partnership with you, and the possibility of a micro-grant to support the work.

If you’re wondering what kinds of social impact our work drives forward, the Rigor Toolbox’s resources are a great introduction!  As we work towards redefining K12 learning outcomes and reimagining curriculum, we’re laser-focused on supporting the development of a modernized vision of meaningful learning experiences: rigorous, engaging, flexible, and inclusive!  

The toolbox is a collection of our most useful and transformative prototypes designed to support accelerated, deep learning for all learners. It balances fast-tracking rigorous competency development with finding joy in relevant, personalized exploration.  And, it equips K-12 learners to build lifelong academic and social-emotional skills they can take with them anywhere in the world they choose to go.
