The Center for Curriculum Redesign (CCR) is a global non-profit organization dedicated to making education more relevant by answering the question:
Why, What, and How should students learn for an age of A.I.?
The mission of the Center for Curriculum Redesign (CCR) is to answer these timely questions and openly propagate its recommendations on a worldwide basis. CCR brings together international organizations, jurisdictions, academic institutions, corporations, non-profit organizations, and foundations. Understanding the “Why” and reshaping the “What” and “How” of Education is ever-more critical in the context of economic and social justice/equity issues, which are being amplified by new technologies (AI, Biotech etc.) and planetary-wide problems (global warming, pandemic, etc.). The last major changes to the historical curriculum took effect in the late 1800’s as a response to the sudden growth in societal and human capital needs. As the world of the 21st century bears little resemblance to that of the 19th century, education curricula need to be deeply redesigned for the four dimensions of (modernized) Knowledge, Skills, Character, and Meta-Learning. Adapting to 21st century needs means revisiting each dimension and the interplay between them and modern pedagogy.
CCR’s leading role in deep, synthesized, and applied research and product development is more timely than ever. CCR thus offers thought leadership (books, papers), and designs:
* Standards/Curricula in partnership with jurisdictions, foundations, and school systems (Mathematics, World History, World Literature, Chemistry, Psychology, Sociology, etc.)
* Courseware (Mathematics, Computer Science, AI, Cleantech, Nanotech, etc.)
* Professional Development for Skills, Character, and Meta-Learning
* Pedagogical and technology tools (Projects Portal, etc.)
