Communities nationwide are building student-centered schools where extraordinary learning is the norm. While these schools don’t all look the same, they all set aside old assumptions about what ‘school’ must be and are working to design more engaging, flexible, and empowering learning environments. Many of these learning environments are designed by or with the communities they serve.
But where are these innovative learning environments, and how are they reimagining school? Whether you’re a local school leader or a national supporter of education, it can be hard to find schools to learn from, especially outside of your own network. The Canopy Project is a collaborative effort to “see the forest” of these innovative schools.
Launched by the Christensen Institute in 2018, the project builds collective knowledge about a diverse set of innovative learning environments and involves hundreds of organizations and schools. Canopy is now stewarded by CRPE and Transcend.
