Mission
reDesignED bridges education theory and practice through education design research (EDR). Our design interventions are dedicated to solving real world educational challenges through evidence-based principles and practices. We work with our partners to create a more equitable, resilient, and sustainable future of learning that prepares learners to thrive in a world of rapid change.
Vision
Our vision is a model in which education is empowering learners to become the agents of change they wish to see in the world. This learner-centered vision is achievable today through the thoughtful design of authentic learning experiences that connect learning to the significant environmental, technological, demographic, socio-political and economic shifts on the horizon. It sets as its overarching goal to inspire and enable learners to design a future in which wellbeing for themselves, their communities, the environment, and the planet are possible.
Values
We work to arrive at equitable and sustainable solutions. Consequently,
- we design with people not for people. Our approach is collaborative, iterative, and respects local knowledge
- we center the voices of those who are directly impacted by the outcomes of the design process
- we aim for sustainable, community led, and -controlled outcomes
- our design interventions are grounded in learning sciences research
- we share design knowledge and design products with the communities we serve
- before seeking new design solutions, we look for what is already working at the community level
