HundrED 2021
2020 has seen the largest ever impact on education globally.
The global education ecosystem has seen remarkable disruption in education this year. During this pivotal moment in the history of education, we need cooperation and collaboration across multiple levels for lasting change in education. COVID-19 has forced everyone to adopt and adapt new ways of teaching and learning at a speed like never before. This crisis has yielded some silver linings, like the potential to form deeper bonds between educators, parents, and students.
HundrED’s annual Global Collection highlights 100 of the leading innovations in K12 education from around the world
Over 5000 innovations were considered for education nonprofit HundrED’s 4th annual Global Collection. More than half of the selected innovations focus on developing social and emotional skills. To make this year’s Global Collection, a shortlist of innovations was reviewed by 150 Academy Members consisting of academics, educators, innovators, funders, and leaders from over 50 countries. In total, there were over 3400 reviews by the Academy based on their impact and scalability that were then evaluated by HundrED’s Research Team to make the final selection.
This year, we decided to separate our HundrED Yearbook into two reports: an Impact 2020 report focusing on what we’ve done this year and where we are going in 2021, and a dedicated report for our Global Collection 2021. Both of these reports can be downloaded for free. We hope that this separation will provide some clarity around these two purposes and make it easier to access their contents.

HundrED Global Collection: 2021
2020 has seen the largest ever impact on education globally. COVID-19 has forced everyone to adopt and adapt new ways of teaching and learning at a speed like never before. With these current needs in mind, the HundrED’s annual Global Collection highlights 100 leading innovations in K12 education from around the world to anyone for free. Now in our 4th Collection, the goal is to inspire a grassroots movement by helping pedagogically sound, ambitious innovations to spread and adapt to multiple contexts across the world. To make this year’s Global Collection, a shortlist of innovations was reviewed by 150 Academy Members consisting of academics, educators, innovators, funders and leaders from over 50 countries.

HundrED Impact 2020
In 2020, the Coronavirus pandemic challenged our most basic assumptions about education. While we are concerned about increases in inequality and learning loss, we are also optimistic about the impetus to improve education that these challenges have caused. Our previous readers may notice we decided to separate our usual Yearbook into two reports this year: (a) this Impact 2020 report focusing on what we’ve done this year and where we are going in 2021, and (b) a dedicated report for our Global Collection 2021, which can be downloaded in our Global Collection 2021 Collection page. We hope that this separation will provide some clarity around these two purposes and make it easier to access their contents.
