Adam Rubin is a Founder and Partner with 2Revolutions, an education design lab. In this episode, we chat with Adam about his organization’s approach to supporting schools, districts, and education agencies to clarify goals for student learning, identify the barriers that are in the way, and use the design lab model to design and test methods that help make the shift happen. Rather than coming with the method in hand, Adam shares his view that it’s important to build solutions around the local context.

Here are some notes about the episode:

• Unlocking the Future of Learning by Redesigning Educator Learning - This chapter by Adam and Ali Brown makes an argument for why rethinking professional learning has the power to transform education systems moving forward.


• 2Revolutions partnered with Virginia Beach City Public Schools to build an innovative and integrative community, this is a good example of the design lab model in practice.
