About The Big Idea

Education Reimagined Education Reimagined designed The Big Idea in partnership with thousands of education leaders from across the country who are working daily to invent an educational future where every child is supported to thrive and contribute in a complex, fast-changing, and interconnected world.

This microsite is meant to act as a rich and robust resource for exploring and having conversations about a future of education where communities are the playgrounds for learning; equity, human dignity, and liberation fostered; and every learner is loved, known, and inspired to use their gifts and talents for the betterment of themselves, their families, their communities, and the world.

If we believe children are curious, wondrous, capable, and unique and families want their children to be happy, prepared, and supported to pursue their interests and ambitions, this Big Idea is one vision of what we’d want to see within our communities.

Now is the time to invent and bring to life community-based ecosystems of learning that can achieve those desired results.

About Education Reimagined

Education Reimagined’s mission is to make learner-centered education available to each and every child in the country, inclusive of race, background, and circumstance. Our work is in transforming education in the United States from our current standardized, one-size-fits-all education system to one that truly serves each child and prepares them to thrive in a complex and fast-changing world.

We offer a transformational vision to galvanize the country around a new learner-centered future of education; and we partner with visionary leaders to imagine, invent, and bring to life the new systems and conditions necessary to enable a learner-centered, socially just future for education to spread and thrive.
