You've known forever that schools are broken, but the COVID-19 process may have opened your eyes as to just HOW broken it really is. Not only are schools not equipped to adapt to the world around us, but they also haven't prepared the students to be self-directed in a world that rewards the ability to self-direct. No matter what you think about moving forward in 2020 and beyond, though, it's important to realize that you have options. Many of these options have been undersold or plain hidden from you in order to protect the status quo. If you are happy with the status quo; well, this won't be for you. But, if you believe your young hero or heroes deserve better, then read on. Matt Beaudreau has been in education for years as a teacher, administrator, lecturer, consultant, and founder. He will remind you of the intellectual understanding you've always had about schools in America, and challenge you to take on the emotional task of detaching from the cancer, and blazing a brave path for your child. After all, it may be their only hope.
