Description¶

The commentary recommends extending IDC's use beyond curriculum design to structure learning-sciences-based discourse with powerful school leaders about preparing students equitably for the future. The authors work with leaders of over 100 US school districts serving over three million students committed to addressing equity, and ask how the IDC lens could frame such conversations.
