I'm telling you, brick and mortar schools won't disappear, but teachers, families, districts, and students NEED to be prepared for fully online schools and hybrid virtual school options. It's NOT the future...it's happening right now. But that's why we're here, we know that most communities do not want to see their community schools disappear, but we have to have options in place to either keep teachers in schools or be able to connect teachers through virtual programs. Virtual learning will inevitably become the new standard as we begin to really customize the needs of students and schools. This is a great report and sheds light on some worthwhile data.

It's that time of year when teachers, school administrators, and district staff are reviewing academic progress across the entire student population. The challenge?

How can you connect with students if you don’t understand their “LEARNING DNA”? Our Chief Education Officer hates it when marketing doesn't use education terms (i.e. Learning DNA), but sorry, this industry needs RADICAL CHANGE. Many education leaders are finding it challenging to understand their K-12 students, particularly those in grades 6-9, a crucial age group impacted by the pandemic. Why not assess the cognitive profiles of each student at least twice a year, to identify their LEARNING DNA, and develop tailored learning strategies to help teachers connect with and teach to students' strengths and needs? #neurodiversity #studentsuccess #education #dna
