WE DESIGN LEARNING SYSTEMS THAT
This isn’t your daily lesson plan. This is architecture for lifelong learning. It’s time for everyone to learn how to learn…and to trust themselves as learners.
The Integrated Science Program
Our cutting-edge architecture reinvents science class for ages 13-20. Global issues & PBL power 36+ modules in coherent configurations that support authentic, real-world STEM.
Concept Construxions®
This patented system utilizes color & shape recognition to support healthy discourse and encourage critical thinking. Designed for coherence, it deepens conceptual understanding across disciplines & over time.
Professional Development
Immersive professional development is a cornerstone of our work---you can't execute on anything disconnected from your daily workflow. We make PD seamless for teachers & leaders serious about change.

Event Details
EduChange President & Founder Catherine Saldutti is an invited presenter at The 5th China Education Innovation Expo, joining Richard Culatta, CEO of ISTE, and other USA education companies at a half-day session hosted by U.S. Commercial Services in China.
Under the guidance of the Ministry of Education of the People’s Republic of China, the People’s Government of Guangdong Province, the Central Committee of the Jiu San Society, and the China Association for Science and Technology, the 5th China Education Innovation Exposition, jointly hosted by Beijing Normal University and China Economic Reform Research Foundation, will be held at Zhuhai International Convention and Exhibition Center on November 20-23, 2019.
- Largest K-12 Education Summit organized by public institutions
- 20,000 attendees from 28 countries and further reach to over 1 million people through live broadcast online.
Catherine will speak to the audience of the 5th China Education Innovation Expo about the theme “Empowering Education.” She will discuss the most essential technology needed in education today: learning systems design. Below is a synopsis of the talk.
Beyond the Platform: Learning Systems Design is the New EdTech
Thursday, November 21, 2pm – 5 pm
To re-engineer formal science class, EduChange built eight interacting systems from the ground up. These systems use nearly 500 different variables–from content standards to instructional practices to assessed competencies–to provide a comprehensive and teacher-friendly plan for formal science class in secondary and early tertiary levels: [CLICK BLUE LINKS FOR VISUALS AND MORE INFORMATION]
- The Content System: Drive curriculum through global issues and topics rather than textbook chapters; Break down subject area silos to integrate biology, chemistry, physics, engineering, computational thinking and environmental science
- The Sustainable OER System: Provide digital curriculum with ongoing updates that double as immersive professional development (SOER)
- The Assessment System: Assess 64+ competencies within four major realms, which remain stable over multiple years to enable truly personalized growth profiles to emerge
- The Instructional System: Teach problem/project-based learning practices that empower students to design and implement their own projects
- The Digital Technology System: Integrate 4 types of digital technologies: productivity tools, creativity tools, educational apps/sims and authentic STEM resources
- The Hands-on Laboratory System: Incorporate hands-on measurement, laboratory work and engineering design challenges that prepare students for advanced science courses
- The Disciplinary Literacy System: capabilities that move students toward their own independent research projects, and the production of a complete scientific or engineering paper
- The Teacher Professional Development System: Support teachers with immersive & ongoing professional development as the program is established
EduChange currently provides 4 different implementation models, beginning as early as Grade 8 and lasting 2-, 3- or 4- years as schools desire.

Event Details
EduChange President Catherine Saldutti has been selected to present an Action Lab and a World Cafe session at the OE Global Conference 2019 in Milan, Italy in November.The Open Education Global Conference is where the world meets to discuss how opening education helps us achieve universal access, equity, innovation and opportunity in education. The OE Global conference is the most internationally diverse conference devoted exclusively to open education, attracting researchers, practitioners, policy makers, educators and students from more than 35 countries to discuss and explore how Open Education advances educational practices around the world.
The Future is Here: Powering Lifelong Learning Architecture & Competency-based Education with Sustainable OER
We need to change our relationship with both time and content in order to deliver truly 21st-century learning architecture. Nearly 20 years ago we began to question, dismantle, and then re-engineer multiple systems that better align with the modern flow of information, the neuroscience of learning, and the need for a global citizenry of lifelong learners. This Action Lab shares examples from 12 years of implementation of our Integrated Science Program across a wide array of demographics inside public, private and international secondary schools (ages 13-20) in the USA, Malaysia, Japan, Brazil and Mexico.
You will see in the materials and presentation what we mean by “open”:
- Open content organization by breaking down disciplinary silos to create a interdisciplinary STE(A)M program that replaces formal science class
- Openly connect the personal, local and global by using real-world issues & problems to drive content organization, including the incorporation of all 17 Sustainable Development Goals, while still meeting government and institutional course requirements
- Open the roles of publisher, teachers & students, making them more collaborative and directly ensconced in the Information Age through a Sustainable OER model. We evolve ~15% of content annually and invite students to write & render ~30% of their ‘digital science textbook’
- Open learning architecture by using a multi-year progression rather than single-year courses. Students build layers of ‘conceptual threads’ across multiple contexts explicitly and in a personalized manner. This mimics brain activity during adolescence, a developmental period of high neural connectivity
- Open student assessment by linking individual performance tasks to common competencies, and replace the task “grade” with individual competency ratings that map to personalized learning profiles over time (and also remove midterms and final exams in the process!)
- Discard proprietary platforms in favor of those used commonly in schools (Google Classroom, Microsoft Education), which maintain long-term, truly inclusive, open access to evolving productivity integrations, creativity add-ons and assistive technology tools. Schools can pilot emerging technologies without dismantling the structures of the learning progressions.
- Open students to a wide array of genres in authentic STEM, far beyond the digital textbook. We build on disciplinary literacy research to apprentice students.
