Our Don Soifer's interview with national education innovation expert Michael Horn's "Future of Education" program. Among the topics they cover in this widely encompassing episode:
- What's driving this fastest-growing segment of American K-12 education? What might it enable? What should we watch out for as it continues to emerge?
- What are some of the attributes educators and families value in microschooling that they are not often able to find in today's other schooling sectors, like public charter schools? In what ways are microschools demonstrating strengths and impacts that don't get to thrive in charter school and other frameworks?
- How do microschools shift teaching and learning to an "active learner" paradigm from the passive learning most often experienced in traditional schools? How does it work?
