Optimizing Opportunities

“I just wanted to say how thankful I am that my son is finally in a school environment that is challenging him. I really appreciate that your teachers are sending work back for him to redo if they know he can do better and that they are holding the standard high.

We had such a hard time finding a place where he would have to stretch to meet expectations thereby pushing him to learn really important life and time management skills along with academic skills. The options in our town are very limited so we have always had to handle his education on our own and a school like this has been a dream of ours for a long time that just didn’t exist.

It is a wonderful opportunity for him to meet like-minded people and role models and the work that you put into building a community environment really does make a difference. It is the first time that I have been able to step away from managing his education and I can now allow it to be his own space and his own experience outside of me because I trust that he is in good hands. Thank you for all your hard work.”

Mastering Self-Motivation & Independence  

“I try to avoid direct contact with the guides, as I am trying to get my son to be as independent as possible. I work with him every Monday to set goals for the week and nudge him to contact the guides when it seems needed.

At the beginning of the year, it seemed he needed significantly more structure, but he has been developing independence, and I have seen a bit more structure (in the form of course completion guides, etc.) from the teachers.

Over the past month or two he has not only become more self-motivated but has also started targeting an “A” in every class, whereas before he was happy to slide by with the minimum.”

This was originally published on the Harvard Graduate School of Education website.

Sal Khan appeared on Harvard’s Education Now with host Uche Amaechi. They discussed how new innovations in remote learning can be harnessed to improve instruction in classrooms and make up for learning missed during the pandemic. One of the promising solutions discussed was Khan World School at ASU Prep.

“Khan World School, I’m almost afraid to say the results, they are seeing five times the growth for high school students, because they are getting an opportunity to learn at their own time and at their own pace and really master the concepts.” – Sal Khan, Founder and CEO, Khan Academy; Founder, Khan Lab School; and Co-founder of Schoolhouse.world and Khan World School.
