Envisioning Human-Centered
Learning Systems
Human-centered learning would represent a systemic shift that would align learning structures, policies, practices and learning experiences around the flourishing and well-being of the people involved in education – including students, teachers, administrators, families and community members.
Envisioning Human-Centered Learning Systems describes a bold vision for education that would enable life-affirming experiences and outcomes for everyone involved in learning systems. It expands on the human-centered learning provocation introduced in Forecast 5.0: Navigating the Future of Learning, detailing the essential elements of human-centered learning: education liberates young people to participate fully in society; schools organize for love and belonging; leadership is intentionally inclusive and co-creative; and learning becomes a lifelong personal practice.
This vision for the future of learning places the healthy development, well-being and creative potential of all people at the center of learning systems. It provides an aspirational, shared focus for meeting the challenges of a rapidly changing and uncertain future. It also provides a frame for examining our existing assumptions about learning and identifying where they might need to shift.
