Today’s problems in education come down to issues of social justice, according to reDesign. The Boston-based organization is an education design and coaching agency that helps schools, districts and nonprofits create and implement plans to reimagine what teaching and learning can be, particularly for society’s most vulnerable and marginalized youth. It works with clients in seven capacity-building areas, based on the following needs:
- School model design
- Curriculum and assessment design
- Instructionals coaching and professional development
- Mastery learning systems design
- Network-level program design
- Leadership coaching
- Knowledge building
The company curates useful information, refines material based on clients’ needs and creates new materials and prototypes in its design lab. Many of its resources are available to the public. They include learning activities, skill development, formative and performance tasks, and teaching tools.
Redesign also produces publications and reports with in-depth looks at research-based models, programs and frameworks, along with its experiences with them. It also sponsors workshops and events to encourage learning and professional development.
