We’ve previously shared how the district’s Moonshot program, developed with support from Remake Learning, invites students into competency-based learning shaped by their own interests and goals.

The 24 systems in our Future of High School Network are reimagining what learning can look like, and the California Area School District in Pennsylvania is one inspiring example. na2.hubs.ly/H04mWFK0

An encouraging article by Madeleine F. Green for the @aacu, highlighting the growing momentum for three-year bachelor’s degrees. This is a healthy and necessary evolution. na2.hubs.ly/H04kcx70

IPR social psychologist Mesmin Destin was named a senior fellow by the @CarnegieFdn in January, joining a group helping shape the next generation of skills high school students need to thrive in a fast-changing world. Click here to read more: spr.ly/6010B6GTNi

@CarnegieFdn is launching a Request for Information to identify individuals and orgs that are already engaged in or interested in work aligned with their R&D Agenda, which supports transforming high schools from time-based to competency-based models. ➡️ bit.ly/4dbexoH

That framing feels exactly right. Teach young people to engage with it intentionally — to question outputs, understand incentives, and, perhaps most importantly, recognize its blind spots.

We're intrigued by the way North Star Academy Washington Park High School in Newark frames A.I. literacy as earning a “driver’s license." Teachers are encouraging their students to understand how to steer these tools rather than be steered by them. na2.hubs.ly/H04bJR80

@SXSWEDU We’ll dig into how leaders define futures thinking, how long-term goals shape real implementation, and how research can guide strategy.

How do you turn a 20-year vision into decisions you can act on tomorrow? We're excited to be a part of the 2045 Starts Now: Futures Thinking for What Comes Next session inside The Public House at @SXSWEDU on 3/10. Learn more: na2.hubs.ly/H047GXY0

.@UOPacific is receiving a $4.4M state grant to continue #CollegeCorps community service program, which provides 100+ students essential financial support & public service experiences.

We’re launching an RFI to advance our R&D Agenda for High School Transformation that's centered on Aligned Public Policy and AI and Infrastructure. High schools face urgent challenges. We seek collaborators committed to impact at scale. Submit by 4/30: na2.hubs.ly/H0404F_0

In this month’s newsletter, we recognize the three winners of Carnegie's Award for Impact, whose efforts have led to measurable gains in graduation readiness and college and career benchmarks. Read more: hub.carnegiefoundation.org/preparing_the_…

@ACEducation @SXSWEDU For more than 50 years, the Carnegie Classifications have served as the nation’s gold standard for organizing the postsecondary sector. Now they are evolving. The new Student Access and Earnings Classification centers institutional excellence on two essential measures.

On Mar 9, @CarnegieFdn President @TimothyKnowles_will join @ACEducation President Ted Mitchell for a featured session at @SXSWEDU. We look forward to a conversation on how to build a stronger, more accountable social contract for higher education. na2.hubs.ly/H03Z4S80

High school is the future of everything. But in the age of AI, it needs to change. @XQAmerica released The Future Is High School—a report that outlines 10 policies, and shows the progress states are making, to transform high school at scale. rethinkhighschool.org

@grmuseumschool The museum serves as a living classroom, so students move between learning studios and public exhibits, work in archives with historical maps and primary sources, and learn alongside museum professionals as they investigate questions that connect directly to their community.

Students at @grmuseumschool create, present, collaborate, and apply their learning in ways that stay rooted in Grand Rapids. na2.hubs.ly/H03Myd90

As states look for clearer ways to connect higher education and workforce opportunity, conversations about return on investment are taking center stage.

We appreciate seeing the Carnegie Student Access and Earnings Classification highlighted as a useful tool to help students and families better understand both who institutions serve and the economic outcomes they deliver. na2.hubs.ly/H03LLsq0
