LPI’s Center for School and System Redesign supports research, practice initiatives, and policy strategies that can transform educational systems to respond to the needs of young people for an equitable and empowering education in our rapidly changing world.
To help inform California’s systemic shifts towards whole child education, the Learning Policy Institute provides critical and timely research across several key issue areas.
LPI has conducted research on several individual states, often at the request of state policymakers, to help inform evidence-based policies and support the work of states to reimagine their education systems.
Effective school design can support the whole child by providing high-quality academic learning, promoting strong interpersonal relationships, and offering authentic and culturally sustaining instruction.
The California Performance Assessment Collaborative (CPAC) convenes educators, policymakers, and researchers who are working to analyze and advance the use of authentic approaches to assess and support student learning.
Curriculum, instruction, and assessment focused on deeper learning develop students’ abilities to think critically and solve complex problems, communicate effectively, work collaboratively, and learn independently.
The Whole Child Policy Table unifies and coordinates the work of a broad set of policy partners working to create school environments in which every student is supported to learn and thrive academically, socially, and emotionally.
The COVID-19 crisis upended schools and widened gaping inequities within the American education system, but research shows how to move forward and create safe learning environments that help students thrive.
Findings from the science of learning and development contain powerful lessons for improving education to help every student access opportunities and reach their full potential.
