PowerUp I: Creating Rigorous, Engaging Learning Experiences

This PowerUp explores an effective approach for designing high-quality student learning experiences, or LXs. The CF+XQ LX Design Brief, developed by XQ in partnership with Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching, names the six “must-have” characteristics of a meaningful, engaging learning experience, based on what we know about the needs of young people and the science of adolescent learning.
