​​Join the campaign to replace the 100-year-old standardized public education model. ​This obsolete way of teaching is a significant root cause of chronically low test scores, the youth mental health crisis, teacher burnout, and other negative outcomes in US public education.

For over a century, children have been sorted by age and randomly placed into groups of 20 to 30, then taught the SAME material, at the SAME time, at the SAME pace, in the SAME way, by the SAME teacher. 

We refer to this as the Whole Classroom Instructional Model, or WCIM. Policymakers have spent decades trying to improve WCIM through reforms that have proven largely ineffective. ​

​We must stop tinkering around the edges of this outdated ​model. It is obsolete, harmful, and structurally flawed.

A Better Vision​

There is now an international movement to replace WCIM with a new model that naturally inspires ALL students to be curious learners, good people, and responsible global citizens. ​

• Extensive research shows that by switching to a student-centered* model, we can significantly increase test scores and other student outcomes while simultaneously addressing inequity and the mental health crisis faced by youth and teachers. (*Note; "learner-centered" and "student-centered" are often used interchangeably.) 

• A 2015 report encapsulates the striking conclusions of 28 widely respected educators, scholars, business leaders, parents, and advocates. Their findings reinforce research that has unambiguously shown that public education in its current structure does not prepare children to succeed as adults. This diverse group concluded that it should be replaced by a learner-centered environment. ​​

• Prompted by this report and after further research, members of the group of 28 formed Education Reimagined. This cutting-edge nonprofit's mission is to make learner-centered education available to every child in the U.S. regardless of race, background, or circumstance. ​

• The call has been heeded across the United States. Educators, policy makers, non-profits, and citizens in Texas, Pennsylvania​, Wyoming, Michigan, Minnesota, Kentucky, Washington State and elsewhere are working to implement learner-centered education in public schools. ​

Our goal is to make every public school as good as the best private school.
