These schools demonstrated a commitment to change and continuously improve systems to fit the needs of students, instead of putting the needs of “the system” over the needs of the student. #EducationFreedom#RethinkSchool@MOEducation@ksdehq
Thank you to the students, teachers, staff and local and State leaders who welcomed me to their schools and communities during the #EducationFreedomTour! I was delighted to meet each of you and to learn what makes your schools unique. #EducationFreedom@MOEducation@ksdehq
You were gracious with your time, proud of your schools, and committed to your students. I saw examples - at every school - of courage to take on anything that stands in the way of success for the students that they serve. #EducationFreedom#RethinkSchool@MOEducation@ksdehq
Every student – no matter where they live, who their parents are, or how much money they have in their pocket – should have the freedom to pursue the education that works for them. #EducationFreedomTour

@usedgov Plaza Academy Exec. Director Ward Worley took me on a school tour where I met with students and staff to discuss their experiences and the school’s approach to creating what they refer to as an ownership-based environment designed to empower their learners. #EducationFreedomTour
