As we all navigate the COVID-19 pandemic, its aftermath and the future of learning, one thing is clear: The future of learning needs to be learner-centered, flexible and resilient. It needs to meet the needs of each student. Read how KnowledgeWorks is working alongside our partners to create a more resilient, equitable future of learning.
Supporting Students, Educators and Learning Communities During COVID-19
Education policy that helps each student
We help advance policies that assist learning communities and states to meet the current uncertainties by building resiliency and flexibility into the system, while also advancing personalized, competency-based learning for each learner.
This guidance was created to help education policymakers and stakeholders take short- and long-term action to create resilient, equitable education systems.
What have states, such as Kentucky and Arkansas, been doing to ensure continuity of learning plans and flexibility in preparation for disruptions?
States, such as Minnesota and Hawaii, have taken steps to strengthen human capital and infrastructure. How else can states ensure equitable education?
Enabling and supporting remote teaching and learning
Schools across the country closed their doors overnight, but that didn’t mean learning stopped. Read about how communities across the country adapted during quarantine with care at the core.
Two years in, these four districts share milestones reached in pioneering personalized, competency-based learning – and the distance learning challenges it helped them meet.
How are KnowledgeWorks learning communities providing access to books and encouraging a healthy relationship to reading during COVID-19?
We’re celebrating the KnowledgeWorks learning communities by sharing positive stories of incorporating social-emotional learning, positivity and community.
Take a look at recent success stories in education as education landscapes in schools, districts and states have shifted.
Futures thinking now
In our strategic foresight work, we’ve referenced the idea of preparing learners, educators and learning communities for an uncertain future. Never has this felt more relevant than now, which is why we’re sharing tools and leading conversations about potential futures of learning.
Individuals from more than 20 countries joined us for a recent informal webinar exploring future tensions and uncertainties arising from COVID-19.
Futures Thinking Now is a series of practical and mental tools and exercises that allow us to embrace change and uncertainty instead of avoiding it.
In a webinar on “Stretched Social Fabric” from our Flourishing Futures publication, the panel examines its relevance today.
