Is this the future of education? Would you consider enrolling your child in a SLANT-based school? Advocates of no-excuses policies in schools argue that progressive, child-centered approaches that spread in the 1970s caused a behavioral crisis, reduced learning, and hindered social mobility. The policy is called “Slant” (Sit up, Lean forward, Ask and answer questions, Nod your head, and Track the speaker). The argument in favor of SLANT? Wealthy children can afford to waste time at school because “their parents take them to museums and art galleries,” In contrast, for children from poorer backgrounds, “the only way you’re going to know about some Roman history is if you’re in your school learning.” Should we instead advocate for a balanced approach that offers all children, regardless of their economic status, access to an environment that fosters discipline alongside creativity and freedom? #FutureOfEducation #SLANTSchool #NoExcusesPolicy #DisciplineInSchools #CreativityInEducation #EducationalReform #HolisticDevelopment

34. That is the average class size for a high school in Nevada according to the National Center for Education Statistics. How can a teacher effectively teach each student equitably in a class that large? I don't think they can. One of the reasons we began Lutheran Neighborhood Schools is to address the class size problem. At our schools each class has 10 students. Our teachers have the time, space, and resources to teach those 10 students. We're rethinking the accepted norms about education. This is just the beginning.

I remember the first time, years ago, that I heard “we need to empower and engage the frontline”. It struck me as odd. “But I know my colleagues”, I thought, “they ARE engaged outside of work, they are creative and joyful…outside of work, they are collaborative and passionate…outside of work.” ✨ Maybe it’s not an employee problem, maybe it’s a work environment one! ✨ ➡️ What if we didn’t have to “empower and engage the frontline” because we never stripped students of their power, curiosity, and autonomy in conventional school systems? Leaders would no longer need to “make it safe to ask questions” because we never learned that it was unsafe… Leaders would quit relying heavily on extrinsic motivation and carrot/stick approaches because we didn’t learn to chase a “gold star” over our own creative passions… Leaders would feel safe admitting they ‘don’t know’ because they never learned their worth was directly tied to school grades… What if? Yes, I work with CEOs to redefine business success by challenging their own preconceptions. But where do you think many of those preconceptions originated? *** Respect humanity (including children!).

It’s time for another lesson from Washington Charter Public Schools 101. Check out the new video below to learn the basics of what makes Rooted School Vancouver a great alternative public school option. Just like an education from Washington charter public schools, this lesson is free and open to all!

John F. Kennedy, Jr. once said “Children are the world’s most valuable resource and its best hope for the future.” So it is a tragedy (and a threat to the US's future development and growth) that our public schools fail so many children. That tragedy is compounded by the opposition from much of the educational establishment ... and a growing portion of our political elite (including our current President) ... to charter schools. A new study from Stanford University's Centre for Research on Education Outcomes of nearly 2 million charter school students and a similar control group of public school students demonstrates the positive impact charter schools can have on children, especially the most disadvantaged who are least well served by our public schools, and who stand to gain the most from a great education! The study found that in math, the average charter student advanced by an extra six days each year compared with one at a traditional public school, and by 16 days in reading. And students in cities, as well as Hispanic and African-American students, benefitted the most. The study also refuted the argument that over-performance by charter students was because those schools were creaming off the most motivated pupils or parents, finding that charter schools take in students who are doing worse than their classmates in public schools. It's time that charter school opponents put aside their ill-informed (or self-serving) opposition, follow the facts, and support charter schools and our kids! https://lnkd.in/gMAUJP2Q
