Focus Areas

Topics, practices, and pedagogies that drive Remake Learning

How We Focus

Remake Learning brings together innovative people and organizations to transform teaching and learning. We focus on key topics, practices, and pedagogies that help young people navigate a changing world—shaped by technological, social, and economic change—and prepare them for future success in work and life.

These change organically, over time, with input from our members.

To explore timely topics more deeply, we convene active working groups, ad-hoc exploratory groups, and collaborative special projects around a variety of topics. To see all the topics we explore, visit our blog.
