National Microschooling Center

Thank you! To everyone who made the trek to Nevada to be a part of the National Microschool Founders and Leaders Summit, to learn together, and to together advance the most exciting movement building in American education in a generation.

Vigorous lunch presentation and discussion by Raphael Gang of Stand Together about today’s microschooling movement, its path to its future, what sustainability might and might not mean, and the beauty of pluralism.

Some powerful learning together happening in breakout session 1 of the National Microschooling Founders and Leaders Summit.

For Texans, and everybody else interested in understanding what today's microschooling is all about, this feature article in DFW Child does a pretty good job. “Microschool educators are not required to manage overcrowded classrooms where they must teach to the (often mythical) center in one-size-fits-all instructional models,” Soifer says. “Families are active partners in their children’s learning trajectories at microschools and can be much more involved than larger, traditional schools allow.” And this reporter was smart to ask the always thoughtful and compelling DFW area microschool founder Amber Okolo-Ebube, whose descriptions make it easy to understand why her families value her so much. "Flexibility is fundamental to?the microschool experience, allowing educators to adapt education to fit each child’s unique needs. In Texas, this means we can adjust our curriculum, teaching methods and even school hours to best support each learner. This especially benefits diverse learners, who may face unique emotional or neurodiverse challenges.”

This profile of Polk County, Florida's microschool pioneer Tonya Kipe and Kipe Academy is sure to make your day. We don't have favorite microschools, we celebrate the beautiful pluralism of our whole movement every day. But every founder we know who's followed Tonya's unrelenting leadership in pursuing her vision for the families of Central Florida smiled from the heart when Kipe Academy opened its doors this summer. Congratulations on beginning chapter two of a story we love. https://lnkd.in/g3TbrV45
