While other states are moving forward with expanding education options for families, Nevada is heading backwards. I feel so sorry for these parents and kids. fox5vegas.com/2023/07/27/stu…

In states where private schools face particularly restrictive requirements, exemptions offer important flexibilities allowing them to serve families in ways that matter. Limiting these exemptions to only faith-based schools run by houses of worship isn’t useful. #microschools

Oh the Vegas Microschooling Movement! I could not be more proud of everyone who made this story happen: the founders who built them, the families who make the magic happen daily, @Kerry_edu who wrote this, or the brilliant @ashrcam for telling it. You are all crucial visionaries!

"The popularity of microschools in the Las Vegas valley reflects increasing interest in this learning model nationwide, accelerated by the education disruption since 2020" buff.ly/3YpqP1V 🙏 @Kerry_edu #edchat #teachertwitter #SXSWEDU @microschooling

Loved that our free “Operational Necessities” training session included microschool founders from 6 different states. Great, robust conversation about things that matter for success. Have you joined any of our trainings yet?

Smart piece by @AdamPeshek, who’s said this for years, explaining how ESAs offer families and educators the tools to create unique new learning environments that are responsive to their needs, not the needs of regulators with some vague idea of “society.” permissionlessed.substack.com/p/dont-charter…

Who are today’s Joe Liebermans, Tony Williamses, Mary Landrieus? Democrats who respond to families’ strong desire for broad educational choice with courageous bipartisan leadership to deliver it? Without them, will this current choice wave be just red/blue states drifting apart?

Numeracy is being able to understand and work with numbers. Let’s start putting as much emphasis on this as we do in building kids’ literacy.

The woman who helped build this rural private school (that's her making the ❤️ sign in the center) is a former public school teacher & teachers union president who once opposed #schoolchoice. Her views changed as the evidence came in. bit.ly/3UuYQMl

Bloom Academy is one of the original stars of the dynamic Las Vegas microschooling sector, an innovative, child-centered environment for learning led by two inspiring educators.

Well, perhaps…IF state charter laws can be upgraded to allow them to be evaluated based on multiple meaningful measures of their impact based on their unique missions and models. nypost.com/2022/11/21/cha…

Yes, school choice works in rural areas. No, it won’t kill rural public schools. We put together this paper & video to combat myths that choice opponents keep perpetuating in states like Texas, Oklahoma & Iowa: bit.ly/3UlTtyF 🧵

Question: how can a Learn Everywhere initiative be enacted which doesn’t require prior approval, instead can award students credit for productive learning experiences after the fact? @SenHoward @StandTogether

At #EIE22 @AdamPeshek is leading a compelling panel with state chiefs from UT, ID and ND about innovative state programs they lead for middle and high school students to learn outside their classroom for credit. How can Nevada emulate these successes to benefit our learners?
