WHAT WE DO
The Center for the Future of Learning brings together educators, young people and community leaders to reimagine learning in Nevada. We foster collaboration, build future-focused solutions and amplify proven practices to address today’s education challenges while shaping a thriving tomorrow. We are guided by the belief that learning is shaped by the collective power of people and communities.
We foster collaboration among educators, young people, policymakers, and communities to shape the future of learning. This includes convening events, leading development programs, and facilitating networks like the Nevada Future of Learning Network and Worldwide Innovation Network (WININ).
Connect a movement dedicated to the future of learning
We co-create and pilot innovative learning solutions both inside and outside formal education systems. This includes advancing policy initiatives, launching school pilots and developing out-of-system initiatives like the IAN Hub, a dedicated space for bold experimentation and community-driven learning models.
Build solutions that allow our communities to innovate now
Amplify and scale innovations that work and inspire
We share knowledge, success stories, and insights to scale solutions and inspire systemic change. Through digital storytelling, media engagement, and thought leadership, we fuel conversations that influence learning innovation at local, state and national levels.
OUR WORK
Learning must evolve as quickly as the world around it.
Education systems are persistently out of sync with what it takes for learners to grow, workforces to function, and communities to thrive.
Engagement is declining, and academic learning is not preparing every young person for a rapidly changing world. As Nevada’s communities grow and diversify, so do the possibilities to create innovative, future-focused solutions that prepare learners to thrive in their careers and contribute to their communities.
Possibility is never just an idea for us—it’s a movement—a call to create, collaborate, and show up with and for our communities.
OUR LEADERS
The CFL team has a track record of impactful work under the umbrella of ed.Xtraordinary, powered by Teach For America. They led a community-driven effort to develop the Portrait of a Nevada Learner in partnership with the Nevada Department of Education and launched the Nevada Future of Learning Network. Through initiatives piloted under the network, learners have experienced increased engagement, skills development, and connection to their community. Now, as an independent nonprofit, CFL builds on this foundation to accelerate learning innovation across Nevada.
