Reimagining Educator Roles
Learning Analysis
2025
Redesigning to meet the needs of our evolving world demands a bold new vision for teaching and learning. We set out to investigate models working to realize that vision.
In 2025, Transcend partnered with the Robertson Foundation to explore how pioneer schools are reimagining teaching and learning to create extraordinary experiences and outcomes for students and educators.
Core to Transcend’s strategy is helping communities design and spread school models that create extraordinary experiences and outcomes for young people. To achieve that goal, and as an end in its own right, we believe schools must also create extraordinary experiences and outcomes for educators.
We began this project energized by the momentum building in the field to reimagine teaching and learning; our conviction in the power of this work has deepened over the last year. We believe building a conducive ecosystem with lasting change involves many organizations locking arms to pursue this work.
This learning analysis contains:
- Criteria & Selected Schools
Our criteria for selecting innovative schools to learn from, who we chose. - Case Studies
