Norris School District was represented in a group of forty diverse learner-centered practitioners, experts, systems thinkers, and young people brought together by Education Reimagined to explore the systems and structures necessary to explore and imagine a future of thriving learner-centered ecosystems and generated a framework and insights that can support on-the-ground invention. The resulting guidebook, Designed to Thrive, helps us all imagine an infrastructure designed to strengthen relationships, expand and grow networks, and bring transparency and access to the system such that it operates in ways that honor the uniqueness of every learner and embrace the diversity of communities. In such a system and future, our diversity and wide range of experiences and beliefs, our stories and hopes, become our greatest strength and the basis for our continued evolution.
