Teacher Expenses Are Higher Than Ever with Remote Learning

Teacher Expenses Are Higher Than Ever with Remote Learning | EdTech: The New Normal | Scoop.it

"“Well, at least teachers don’t have to spend as much of their own money on school supplies this year if they’re teaching online,” mused a pair of ladies waiting for their Starbucks orders. Unfortunately, that couldn’t be farther from the truth for many teachers. Teacher expenses are higher than ever due to remote teaching. Teachers are used to spending their own money on supplies, but technology expenses add up in a whole new way. On top of the extra expenses, many teachers are bringing home less money due to education budget cuts."

Unschooling School (new initiative)

Unschooling School (new initiative) | EdTech: The New Normal | Scoop.it
Unschooling School: Revolutionizing school by insisting on the right to self-directed education for all free learners.

 

UnschoolingSchool.com will:

  • Provide tools, coaching, and create a community so parents, students and educators can continue to participate in the public system, while firmly resisting its unnecessary regimen and coercion.
  • Help parents/kids look at school as a smorgasbord of resources to choose from based on curiosity and passion.
  • Furnish parents with the courage to trust their kids and allow them to opt-out of lessons, homework, and testing, and instead give them the freedom to spend time at school doing more of what they enjoy.
  • Outline a new designation for students: The Free Learner (or FL). Similar to LD, students designated FL will also require accommodation in the class and school. The accommodations will vary and depend on the wishes/interests of the FL child and parent(s).
  • Share worksheets and templates that explain what the Free Learner designation means and what accommodations their child will require.
  • Become a forum for FLs, their parents and enlightened educators to network, share ideas and help build the Unschooling School community, eventually creating Unschooling-Schools everywhere.
