Spring is here, and there’s so much exciting growth underway. 

As promised during our recent introductory webinar, we are thrilled to invite you to our next Future9 event: a free, virtual workshop that explores the question, How can reDesign’s Future9 competencies work with standards to support measurable growth – while fostering learner agency?

Thursday, April 18th

Read on for recent highlights from our work on rethinking grading in Massachusetts, reimagining post-pandemic learning on our SXSW EDU youth panel, and more.

What might it take to actually empower districts and schools to do the challenging work of rethinking grading? Learn more in this video as we tackle this question through the Rethinking Grading Initiative, a two-year grant-funded project, designed and implemented by the Massachusetts Department of Education, Rennie Center For Education and Policy, and reDesign, between 2022 and 2024. Five high schools across the commonwealth were involved in the project, including urban, rural, and suburban schools, to encompass a broad range of context and demographics.

Check out highlights from our youth-driven panel at SXSW EDU, where young people told us about engaging experiences that uplifted them, along with how schools can better meet post-pandemic needs. Hear from Salome, a panelist and one of your Youth Advisory Council members, and tune into the audio recording from the event for the complete conversation!
