(From Forbes) For over a century, education reform prioritized scaling schools, but today, smaller models are gaining momentum, says education thought leader Michael McShane. He highlights four key forces driving this shift:
- Technology: Online resources and learning management systems allow for independent schooling.
- Flexible work for families: Flexible jobs make hybrid schooling more attractive than traditional schedules.
- Funding philosophies: Philanthropy is increasingly supporting small-scale education through initiatives like the VELA Education Fund.
- New public funding mechanisms: Education Savings Accounts give families more options, including microschools, hybrid models and tutoring.
