Mission
reDesignED bridges education theory and practice through design based research (DBR). 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 resilient, equitable future of learning that prepares learners to thrive in a world of rapid change.
Vision
Our vision is a model of education in which learning is more authentic, more culturally-responsive, more evidence-based, more personalized, more inclusive, more holistic, and more competency-based. This learner-centered vision is achievable today through the thoughtful application of evidence-based principles and practices and through the pedagogical application of learning technologies.
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
