Greetings colleagues, partners & friends!

As this year comes to a close, my hope is that you have the same kinds of meaningful and joyful moments that the reDesign team is working to build for educators and young people within reimagined learning communities. We hold the learner - whether young or adult - at the center of what we do. And while learning is a serious endeavor, it should also be fun, personally relevant, and nearly as exciting as that first sip of hot cocoa on a chilly evening!

This commitment to the learner is as true now as it was when reDesign began 15 years ago as a small consulting practice that supported programs like NYC’s Transfer High Schools in providing opportunities for older high school students to be successful, get creative, and feel authorized to take ownership of their learning.  

Fast forward to 2022, and as I reflect on this past year and our work in the field, I'm honored to say that we have touched the lives of tens of thousands of learners and educators through our growing design innovations and national partnerships.

Highlights include our work to:

  • Fuel innovation through a $10 million social impact grant that allowed us to develop a “rigor toolbox” of prototypes to accelerate meaningful and creative learning through modularized performance assessments, learning strategy guides, and inquiry-based explorations of compelling questions



When bell hooks wrote about building communities based on equality, respect, and justice, she said: “To be truly visionary we have to root our imagination in our concrete reality while simultaneously imagining possibilities beyond that reality.”  

In the coming year, let’s design beyond the limitations of our education system, creating powerful experiences and ecosystems that equip young people to thrive in their own communities, and in the world beyond.

Best wishes in the new year, and here’s to co-creating the future of learning together!


Warmly,


Antonia Rudenstine
