National School Choice Week is held every January and in 2022 will take place from January 23-29. Learn more at https://schoolchoiceweek.com Andrew shares his big idea advocating for kindness, compassion and understanding in our K-12 education conversations. He asserts that each individual who has a role in the education system, whether a student, parent, educator or anyone else, has a unique perspective on the system, the role of schools, and the opportunities that will best suit their needs, strengths, and interests. In response to this big idea,

Amy Valentine, Future of School CEO and host of the podcast, adds, “We owe it to our children to build an education system that honors their uniqueness.” Andrew explains further that a harsh, confrontational tone is rarely effective at “moving the ball forward” with respect to choice in education. We must maintain or, if necessary, reinsert the humanity into our conversations in order to recognize and realize the true value of personalized, individualized choice and opportunity for all students and families.
