NATIONAL SUMMIT ON SCHOOL DESIGN

Reimagine America’s Schools: A Blueprint for Equity and Opportunity

January 26, 2021 | 12-2PM ET

PRESENTED BY REIMAGINE AMERICA’S SCHOOLS

Over the past 10 months, Reimagine America’s Schools has brought together educators, architects, technologists and policy leaders to study what impacts the pandemic may have on the future of public education, draw lessons from our collective experience in 2020, and build a vision of how we can work together to reimagine our schools for the future.

On January 26, 2021, the Reimagine America’s Schools National Summit began to lay out a blueprint for the future.

The summit focused on designing schools for equity and inclusion, including transformative ideas on the next generation of Community Schools, learning at the intersection of technology and design, and active learning as strategies for greater student achievement.

We invite you to join us in creating a forward-looking vision to build learning communities, implement active learning, better integrate technology and inform a national strategy to design our schools for the future.

This is a vital American endeavor. We invite you to take part.
