reDesign is a diverse team of experienced educators who provide design, coaching, and consulting services to help schools and school systems improve educational outcomes for historically underserved youth. We believe all young people can become independent, passionate learners who are prepared for college, regardless of economic circumstance, race, or family history. For us, education is fundamentally an issue of social justice. reDesign collaborates with clients on projects that push the envelope of vision and design in education: projects that are reimagining what teaching and learning can be, particularly for the most vulnerable and marginalized youth in our society. Our work is organized around three key levers of impact: strategic design, educator capacity-building, and knowledge-building. Each of these areas of work inform and impact the other, enabling us to bring tangible value to our clients through complete learning cycles of ideation, implementation, and data-guided, reflective iteration. https://www.redesignu.org/redesign-announces-third-annual-youth-advisory-council/
