Center for Reimagining Education (CRE)
Reimagining Education in a New Era
What if schools could harness the power of AI and data to completely reimagine how teachers teach and students learn? Center for Reimagining Education (CRE) aims to accelerate the pace of change in schools and districts by leveraging artificial intelligence, technology, and data in an effort to reimagine the learning environment for students and teachers. Through collaboration, coaching, professional learning, a resource exchange, and a community of practice for students and educators, CRE supports districts in designing innovative, student- and teacher-led learning environments.
Guiding Principles for Transformation
CRE asks participants to reimagine education through three key lenses:
- True Transformation: Challenge and disrupt traditional classroom models
- Student Involvement: Empower students as co-creators and leaders
- Starting Small to Grow Big: Use a school-within-a-school approach to pilot manageable innovations that can scale.
Our Leadership
CRE is led by Director Bart Swartz, with co-founders Rick Ginsberg, Dean of the KU School of Education and Human Sciences, and Yong Zhao, a Foundation Distinguished Professor of Educational Psychology at KU.
