Welcome to the L.E.A.R.N. research repository. Our objective is to provide a wide range of resources that support members in their work to transform the diverse learning environments needed for our complex world. Contents include peer-reviewed articles, technical reports, white papers, and “toolkits” that are anchored to the LEARN organizational pillars. Research briefs provide a link to the source material, a summary of key insights, action steps, and downloadable infographics. We are continuously adding new resources, so check back often!
