When schools design learning environments around agency, belonging, strengths, and real-world experience, the impact extends far beyond academic outcomes and ripples throughout the school and community. In this town hall conversation, practitioners, parents and co-researchers from across the country share what they discovered while examining and experiencing learner-centered environments at LaFayette Big Picture High School, Avalon School, and Norris School District. The discussion will center on how designing for learners with learning differences can transform identity, strengthen school culture, and deepen relationships with families and communities. Join the discussion as educators, learners, and families reflect on what these insights mean for education transformation possibilities.
