Why did we Join Center X?
Through the Center for City Building Education-Design-Based Learning we have trained countless numbers of teachers throughout the years and have changed the lives of thousands of students in difficult situations.
Since the 1970s, our educational programs in at-risk communities have touched the most vulnerable students. Like Center X, Social Consciousness is at the heart of Design-Based Learning.
Center X has significant network in the greater Los Angeles School Districts. These districts regularly contract services through Center X and will now have the option of Design-Based Learning training through this trusted institution.
Additionally, with their robust administrative and fundraising support we can focus our energies solely on teaching and developing new DBL programs.
