Thanks for sharing.

If it’s going to work, the SparkNC folks might be the ones to pull it off. They’re a smart group of folks who know fat better than me about how to actually teach kids.

Interesting that CZI is distancing themselves from tech-based personalized learning just as NC is ramping up its spending (see p. B-30, $3m NR each year for SparkNC)
Mark Zuckerberg tried to revolutionize American education with technology.
The Facebook founder aspired to bring computer-based ‘personalized learning’ to classrooms through a program known as Summit Learning. But in recent years this vision has stalled.

North Carolina’s “oxygen bubbles” aren’t experiments. They’re proof that transformation can start anywhere. 13 districts. No top-down mandate. Just real change, rooted in community. Time to stop waiting for permission.
