Learning Design

Working together with a local foundation, we helped to develop a regional strategy and shared vision for high school learners to graduate with authentic real world experiences that are badged and recognized at businesses and universities across a two state partnership. This includes building entrepreneurial skills, job shadows, college prep opportunities and more. Through this project we worked with varied sizes of districts serving diverse communities to create a common set of agreements on what opportunities and experiences should be provided to high school graduates.

Getting Smart supports Cajon Valley Unified School District with their world of work initiative, and their learning community partners like San Diego Workforce Partnerships. Additionally the Getting Smart team has supported the design of personalized learning and interest driven learning opportunities that build learner agency.

ASU Preparatory K-12 Academy utilized Getting Smart’s strategy services and system and learning design services to get support in launching new bricks/mortar schools, microschools for Prep Digital students, and strategy for growth and scaling. This included new school design and launch, leadership advisory and systems and processes support. 

Dexter Community Schools partnered with Getting Smart to co-create an instructional model and facilitate virtual and in person trainings with school teams and leaders in order to support implementation and success.
