Each column in the resource matrix represents a critical component of learner-centered system design.

District messaging and engagement strategies that communicate learner-centered vision and progress to families and community.

Explore the Learner-Centered Collaborative Ecosystem
An ecosystem is a dynamic community of interconnected elements that interact and evolve within a shared environment. A learner-centered ecosystem requires us to center learners at every level—students, educators, families, and communities—and to reimagine success toward the skills, competencies, and mindsets needed to thrive in a rapidly changing, interconnected world.
