We need to redesign our schooling system to build in daily opportunities for teachers to learn from each other and develop professionally. This should be during normal working hours…not as an add-on.

9 things to know about the big, private-school voucher plan in Republicans' tax bill NPR asked researchers, advocates, tax experts, a parent and a public school leader for their thoughts on this first-of-its-kind national voucher plan. Here's what they said.

Great explainer on vouchers, with bonus undergraduate micro cosplay. If you offer a universal subsidy for private school, expect prices to increase.

Experiential learning model: Concrete experience > Reflective observation > abstract conceptualisation > active experiementation

Information is more easily integrated & organized when it's learned in an embodied, situated, social context than when isolated decontextualized information must be integrated & organized as a separate step later on. This is exactly how experiential/constructivist models work to build knowledge:
