Building a Quality Education Doesn't Require Bricks and Mortar
Imagine a public school system where parents could build an education uniquely tailored to their child, where students flourish scholastically, physically and emotionally. Well, it's possible and it might even start at home or online. Hear the panelists discuss policies and resources that support students who are educated at home, both part-time and full-time, or are taking advantage of programs outside the traditional classroom. From online virtual classes to participation in extracurricular activities to targeted programs for specific subjects, the ability to create a custom education for every student is possible.
Panelists:
• Senator Daniel Webster, Florida Legislature, FL, on Florida's model for home education. Joined by Special Guest Peter Tebow.
• Barbara Dreyer, President, Connections Academy, MD, on successful fiscal models for virtual education.
• Pam Birtolo, Chief Learning Officer, Florida Virtual Schools, FL, on strategies for a successful virtual program.
• Bror Saxberg, Chief Learning Officer, K12, VA, on successful models in states around the nation.
