Connected Learning research and practice has shown that young people can achieve and learn when given support and opportunities to follow their interests, and the time and space to create work that is meaningful to them. In most schools today, students and teachers are both challenged to find the time for deeper learning or the space to create. In partnership with the nonprofit National Writing Project and its network of teachers, Educator Innovator, John Legend’s Show Me Campaign, and the MacArthur Foundation, the LRNG Innovation Challenge awards grants to teams of educators working to solve these issues. P4P was responsible for bringing the major partners together to facilitate the concept creation and continues to help manage and develop strategic partnerships to sustain and grow LRNG.
