RVLA is proud to be featured in the #CanopyProject, a collective research project that enables educators to better understand how schools are innovating across the US. This national study launched in 2019 as a collaborative national effort to highlight equitable, student-centered innovation in K–12. Today, the Center on Reinventing Public Education (CRPE) and Transcend are releasing new and updated information about 161 innovative school designs, including [INSERT SCHOOL NAME]. The data is available on a new interactive data portal that makes it easy to browse the school data and view individual school profiles.
In a historically challenging moment for K-12 education, elevating examples of learning environments designing for equity and student-centered learning is more important than ever. We are constantly searching for ways to strengthen our vision and mission of antiracism, collaborative community, & leadership in order to provide a liberatory education while at the same time maintaining a highly rigorous academic outcome for our scholars.
