This article appears to be advertorial content for Education Reimagined (I can't tell from their web page whether they're a company, advocacy group, or something else) and while I agree with the core premise that education should be learner-centered, everything else seems to work against that. The idea that"vision must be shared," for example, runs counter to the idea that there are multiple perspectives(especially among learners). The idea of "forming a community steering committee and cultivating strong civic partnerships" sounds great but in reality entrenches existing power structures. Collaboration is fine if it's student-initiated and vendor neutral, but programs are run through specific companies (like Spark NC and Big Thought). What we have here, I think, is 'shopping mall diversity' - different types of organizations, but all based on a buy-and-sell premise.
