April 7, 3–4:30 p.m. ET
New Pathways Through School: Understanding Virtual Schools in Today’s K–12 Landscape 
Virtual schools have grown rapidly in recent years, becoming an increasingly visible part of the expanding set of K–12 learning options available to families. In this GLR Learning Tuesdays conversation, panelists will provide a clear overview of what virtual schooling is — and is not — including how it differs from homeschooling and microschooling, the range of models that exist, and what research tells us about their effectiveness. Speakers will also examine the policies and conditions driving growth in several states and discuss what this evolving landscape means for families, particularly those in economically challenged communities. 
Panelists: Shiren Rattigan, Colossal Academy; Mickey Revenaugh, Connections Academy; John Watson, DLAC; Julie Young, Julie Young Education, LLC; and others TBD.
