Florida can build on its early leadership in the virtual schooling movement to create an entirely new education system that is affordable and student-centric.
The policy brief I wrote for The James Madison Institute, a Florida-based research and educational organization, has lessons for all policymakers well beyond the boundaries of Florida. The brief describes how our public education system, designed for the industrial economy, is quite ill-suited to teach all students the higher-order skills necessary for success in today’s knowledge-based economy. By embracing online learning as a holistic strategy for transforming education—not a small item on the education menu—states can bring about a more student-centric system in which each student has access to a marketplace of affordable, high-quality, individually tailored education options.
