\u2018Alternative to school:\u2019 Las Vegas has self-directed learning center<\/strong> <\/a>— from reviewjournal.com by Julie Wootton-Greener<\/p>\n

Excerpt:<\/em><\/p>\n

It\u2019s part of a movement called \u201cmicroschooling.\u201d The trend accelerated during the COVID-19 pandemic \u2014 particularly, while Clark County School District campuses operated under a year of distance education until in-person classes resumed in spring 2021.<\/p>\n

Southern Nevada is home to more than 20 microschools, which are \u201cmultifamily learning arrangements,\u201d said Don Soifer, president of Nevada Action for School Options and a former board member for the Nevada State Public Charter School Authority.<\/p>\n

Most are operating with children who are considered homeschooled, he said, while some are small private schools.

Showing up in our homeschools<\/strong><\/a> — from raisinglifelonglearners.com by Colleen Kessler<\/p>\n

Excerpt:<\/em><\/p>\n

What do you want your kids to think about homeschooling? What do you want their homeschooling experience to be? Choose how you want that to look and then work on it, set an intention for the day or for the week and show up that way.<\/p>\n

Take a deep breath. When things get difficult, respond with peace, not anger.<\/p>\n

Notice little things, be curious about what\u2019s going on in your homeschool, and then find ways to make it look the way you want it to look.<\/p>\n

I share more in depth strategies all about making this intentionality happen in today\u2019s episode of the podcast.

A Guide to Rethinking Education After Pandemic<\/strong><\/a> — from edsurge.com by\u00a0Michael Staton<\/p>\n

Excerpt:<\/em><\/p>\n

During the pandemic, there were those who rose to the occasion\u2014innovators who forged a new path, students who learned more than they knew they could, teachers who felt unbound by convention, administrators who mobilized bureaucracies known for inertia and parents who saw first-hand that another world is possible. There were many individuals and organizations who knew it was a once in a millennium moment to rethink what has been, to experiment with what could be, to create an upgraded education model and a better school experience.<\/p>\n

Michael Horn\u2019s new book, “From Reopen to Reinvent: (Re)Creating School for Every Child,” highlights key organizations and individuals who seized the moment\u2014some because they were prepared; some because they were lucky enough to have a quirky vision which suddenly made sense to try during pandemic lockdown; some because they were forced to adapt and had no other choice. From those, Horn sheds light to help others learn a brighter path forward.

Pandemic \u201cLearning Loss\u201d Actually Reveals More About Schooling Than Learning<\/strong><\/a> — from fee.org by Kerry McDonald
\nThe alleged “learning loss” now being exposed is more reflective of the nature of forced schooling rather than how children actually learn.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

As we know from research on\u00a0unschoolers\u00a0and others who learn in self-directed education\u00a0settings, non-coercive, interest-driven learning tends to be deep and authentic. When learning is individually-initiated and unforced, it is not a chore. It is absorbed and retained with enthusiasm because it is tied to personal passions and goals.<\/strong><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
