We support effective schooling options, and policies that support equitable access to them for all Nevadans. #MicroschoolingNV

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. https://t.co/uYmkne8FHZ

There’s millions of dollars less than in previous year, meaning low income students who were attending private schools may have to go to public schools instead.

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

Good read: ESAs are on the move- where does the movement need to go from here? @AdamPeshek is spot on in this cogent and vital analysis published by the @educationgadfly. https://t.co/43qskrqDtT

In the summer of 2015, I sat at my desk and Googled “health savings account providers.” At the time, I had been in states across the country advocating for creation of education savings account (ESA)...

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" https://t.co/kmqjAf6wzg 🙏 @Kerry_edu

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.” https://t.co/4w4fbrQ7R2

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. https://t.co/a8caBugfxZ

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.
The first step is recognizing there’s a problem. The second step? Creating the solution. Three lessons from the founders of Bloom Academy on starting out as a nonprofit leader:

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. https://t.co/hDpZBY7SY5

US public-school enrollment fell 3.5% during the two pandemic years — about 1.5 million students — while public charter school rolls jumped 7%, a new report notes.

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: https://t.co/jEQ9WlKTE3 🧵

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?
