Since 2008, Nellie Mae has been a prominent champion of student-centered learning (SCL), supporting efforts to study, promote and implement practices in which learning is personalized, engaging, competency-based, and occurs anytime and anywhere.  \nThe Nellie Mae Education Foundation envisions  \naren’t providing the best environments to prepare every student for success. Students engage with learning in different ways, succeed through different pathways and experience different barriers to success. Public schools must allow for this variety, invite students to succeed through multiple pathways, and acknowledge the barriers—including institutional ones—that students face as well as the role we all have in removing those barriers.  \na region where all youth have access to excellent and equitable public education that prepares them to succeed and thrive in community. To get there, Nellie Mae is committed to championing efforts that prioritize community goals that challenge racial inequities and advance excellent, studentcentered public education for all New England youth.  \nNellie Mae recognizes that there are  \nsignificant barriers that stand between too many New England students and their success. Ensuring excellent learning opportunities for all youth will require the concerted effort of individuals, organizations and communities to challenge current practices and structures that predictably limit achievement of young people of color and those in poverty.  \nToday, we know more than ever about how students learn—but traditional school systems  \nStudent-centered learning engages students in their own success and incorporates their interestsand skills into the learning process. Rather  \nthan having educators hand down information, students can engage with teachers and their peersin real-time, preparing them to participate in askilled workforce later in life. Student-centered approaches to learning highlight four key tenets that work in concert with each other: learning is personalized; learning is competency based; learning happens anytime, anywhere; and students take ownership of their learning.  \nNellie Mae Education Foundation 2  \nAbout the Continuum  \nNellie Mae created this Student-Centered Learning Continuum (SCL Continuum) to establish the characteristics of high-quality, student-centered learning in classrooms, schools, and districts. It’s important to us that this set of criteria is clear and measurable and allows us to communicate the Foundation’s vision for the most dramatic and rigorous renditions of student-centered learning.  \nThis continuum is based upon existing research and cutting-edge practice, incorporates the experiences of experts and practitioners, and acknowledges the contexts in which classrooms, schools, and districts operate. Student-centered learning is still relatively new. It is a concept that blurs and questions the boundaries of traditional education systems and organizations. Therefore, an explicit set of principles supported by a set of clear and measurable criteria is a key underpinning to large-scale implementation.  \nThe research base for this document is the result of a thorough review of the empirical research literature; many of the student-centered learning elements represented here are backed by research showing positive outcomes for students. Research may also support other elements of SCL in the continuum, though that research may not provide causal evidence of the relationship between those elements and outcomes. Nellie Mae also consulted the existing practice base and connected with  \nNellie Mae Education Foundation  \neducation experts and district practitioners to inform the elements of SCL that are not yet represented in the literature.
