To prepare learners to thrive in times of disruptive change we design learning experiences and learning pathways that empower students to shape a world where well-being and sustainability – for themselves, for others, and for the planet – is achievable (OECD 2030).
Educating for the future
Authentic learning experiences
reDesignED supports teachers in designing authentic learning experiences that foster 21st Century knowledge, skills, and dispositions.
Competency-based learning
From the design of learning experiences to the assessment of comptencies, reDesignED supports teachers, schools, and districts in their move to a competency-based learning model.
Portrait of a graduate
reDesignED supports districts and departments of education in the development, implementation, and assessment of the Portrait of a Graduate or Profile of a Learner.
Circular economy challenges
reDesignED meaningfully integrates circular economy challenges into the existing curriculum. This mobilizes students to learn, think, and act as agents of change.

Ecosystem restoration champions
reDesignED develops learners as future ecosystem champions. This involves an introduction to (eco) systems thinking and encourages learners to think globally and act locally. Through problem-based learning activities, students grapple with developing sustainable approaches in their communities.
Academic-industry partnerships
reDesignED supports relationships between industry advisory boards and academic partners through targeted program redesigns. Strengthening the real-world relevance of academic standards is one of the benefits. The other benefit is the cross-pollination of research and real-world practice.

Academic-community partnerships
reDesignED supports relationships between academic partners and the local communities they serve. This provides learners with opportunities for place-based learning and strengthens local communities.
Transdisciplinary pathways
reDesignED supports institutions ready to design transdisciplinary (TD) pathways on top of current disciplinary structures. TD pathways support collaboration across the disciplines to solve problems that do not abide by disciplinary boundaries.
Micro-credentials
reDesignED’s micro-credentials distinguish between levels of learning: comprehension, application, problem solving.
