Do You Know Someone Considering Homeschooling? Learn About "Hybrid Homeschooling" - Thrive! Webinar

Hybrid Homeschool 101: What is Hybrid Homeschooling and Can I Actually Do It?
Part of the LearningRevolution.com “Survive and Thrive!” Series

OVERVIEW

This year, the number of parents choosing to homeschool has risen from 5 % of all K – 12 students up to more than 10% (and this does not count the number of students taking advantage of remote learning options from their local school district). Recent research states that parents, teachers, and students want something different from schools this year and in the future, and the answer lies in more flexibility. Hybrid homeschooling may be the answer.

Hybrid homeschooling is: "...a model where children split their time between homeschool and a more traditional schooling environment. This could be three days at home and two days at school, two days at home and three days at school, part of the day at home and part of the day at schools, or a variety of other options." (See the Forbes article ""Is Hybrid Homeschooling The Wave Of The Future?"")

In this course, we will address:

  • What is hybrid homeschooling? Would it work for your family?
  • Hybrid Homeschooling 101: Rules and Regulations and Working with School Districts
  • Applying Hybrid Homeschooling to Traditional K – 12 education

If you have been thinking about the future of schooling (and homeschooling), this is the course for you!

Albrecht Blog: "Developing Financial Knowledge and Budget Skills: What Every Library Supervisor Needs to Know"

We've posted a new blog post from Dr. Steve Albrecht in our "Library Service, Safety, & Security" section of Library 2.0:

Developing Financial Knowledge and Budget Skills: 
What Every Library Supervisor Needs to Know

To help you promote in your career as a library leader, you must be able to "speak the language of business," which is about understanding budgets, monitoring spending, understanding payroll costs for existing or future staffing levels, controlling costs, allocating assets, counting inventory, and knowing how to read and interpret the often interrelated financial reports. 


Dr. Albrecht's recent podcasts episodes include "Stop Saying Calm Down," Spirit of Service," "Library Civility: A Code for How We Treat Each Other," "The Code of Quality Service," and "The Power of Surveys." You can listen directly on the site or you should also be able to access the podcast in SoundCloud here or in your own podcast app using the RSS feed hereClick here to let us know what topics you'd be particularly interested in having us cover in the Library 2.0 webinars, blog posts, and podcast series. 

His other recent blog posts are available here, including: "Puzzled About the Police Response in Your Library? Perhaps a Better Understanding of Their Unique Culture Will Help," "Safety and Security at the Jacksonville (FL) Library" (a 40-minute video interview with Chet Price, the Safety and Security Manager at the Jacksonville (FL) Library), Solving Conflicts Between Library Employees: A Tool For Getting Along When No One Wants to Get Along," "Is There Hidden Bias at Your Library?," "The Hidden Power of the Pages (Our Employees, Not Our Books)," "Forgiveness: How Libraries Can Host Programs on Restorative Practices - An Interview with Azim Khamisa," "Do Your Library Employees Have the “Spirit of Service?,” and "Library Civility: A Code for How We Treat Each Other." 

While Dr. Albrecht's twice-monthly podcast and blog posts are available for free, as are our regular mini-conferences and all the conference recordings, we also offer a series of paid webinars and recordings with Dr. Albrecht which are available for individual or group viewing. More information is available here.
