Description
Expanding access to learning experiences that are personalized, mastery-based, and student-centered requires building the local capacity and leadership necessary to scale and sustain them. Next Generation Learning Challenges (NGLC) equips schools and districts to provide student-centered, personalized learning experiences that prepare students with the broad set of skills needed for long-term success. Since NGLC was founded in 2010, the organization has established itself as a prominent catalyst for innovative, student-centered schools and as a trusted partner to districts and communities seeking to implement new approaches. Corporation support over the last five years enabled NGLC to study school districts that successfully transformed learning experiences with positive outcomes for students over extended periods of time, culminating in NGLC’s ‘Transformation Design’ approach to educational systems change. Continued support will allow NGLC to launch the next phase of the Transformation Design work, which will include providing direct support for districts to implement this approach and expanding impact outside of NGLC’s network through tool development and dissemination.
