Official Coach Lerning Academies is a 21st century concept of education. Making it a reality is my ultimate professional goal.
Our current education system is based on a late 19th century model of teaching meant for preparing workers for factory work in an industrialized nation. It is not surprising that special interests have become entrenched in a system that is more than a hundred years old. It wouldn’t be a problem except that this antiquated system is not preparing students for the 21st century.
Some are proposing that market-based reforms that provide school choice for parents will transform schools to meet today’s societal and economic needs. And I’m sure that they can – if schools were part of a free market. Schools are not in a free market. Public schools are in a monopolistic system ensnared in obsolete traditions, laws, red tape, and strings attached to grants and government funding. Most private schools are also trapped in the late 19th century model of schooling and are too busy struggling to surviving to be innovative.
Coach Lerning Academies intends to break out of this mold. Its funding model will not be based on grants and government funding. Its funding model will not even be based on tuition. Coach Lerning Academies will be funded by free market acceptance of its 21st century model of learning. This will include initial capitalization through crowd-funding and multiple streams of income through membership and other goods and services.
The concept behind Coach Lerning Academies is 21st century simplistic. Students follow gamified story lines that motivates and guide them through online learning experiences that culminate in demonstrating mastery in project-based assignments in one of the academies. Students have flexible hours because they are not bound by traditional school hours. In fact, they are not bound to any one brick and mortar school. Membership in a Coach Lerning Academy is universal to all Coach Lerning Academies.
