Connected Learning St. Louis
Mission
We provide resources and opportunities to collaborate in order to improve learning and teaching.
What We Do
As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit we embrace Connected Learning, a powerful educational framework that integrates academic achievement with real-world relevance and personal interests.
Connected Learning moves beyond traditional classroom settings by structuring learning experiences that are:
⚡️ Interest-Powered: Learning is driven by the learner's passions and interests, making the process naturally engaging and motivating.
🧑🤝🧑 Peer-Supported: We foster collaborative environments where learners engage with peers and mentors, sharing knowledge and building social skills through interaction.
🎯 Academically Oriented: The learning remains deeply connected to educational goals and career readiness, ensuring skills and knowledge are transferable and valuable.
🔗 Production-Centered: Learners don't just consume information; they create, design, and produce tangible artifacts, developing critical skills like problem-solving and digital literacy.
🌐 Openly Networked: We leverage digital tools and networks to connect learners with diverse resources and expertise globally, expanding their opportunities and perspectives.
📈 Shared Purpose: Learning activities are designed around a shared goal or mission, promoting community engagement and a sense of collective achievement.
Simply put, we connect what learners love with what they need to know, in a social and dynamic environment.
