The pandemic has illuminated aspects of learning design that have potential for flexibility, as well as those that have been less easy to shift. In this session, hear the reDesign Youth Advisory Council of adolescent learners from across the country share their ideas for changing how we think about school, by exploring issues such as flexibility for working students or teacher hiring practices. The Council grappled with the possibilities for reimagining school from a learner-centered view.
