New RFP to support the growth of unconventional education models
STT seeks to further invest in projects that recruit, train, and deploy leaders in permissionless environments
American education is at a turning point. A century-long trend towards standardized, one-size-fits-all approaches to education is being replaced by a spirit of entrepreneurship and customization. The public is realizing that there is not “one best way” to educate tens-of-millions of students, with families and educators opting for alternative education approaches that range from classical education to self-directed learning.
Educators are at the forefront of this dynamism, with unprecedented numbers of teachers leaving traditional roles to create new and unique schools – microschools, hybrid schools, homeschool cooperatives, and many other alternative approaches. Many other teachers are leaving the profession altogether – frustrated with the status quo, but lacking a clear path to opportunities that give them the autonomy to practice educational approaches that fuel their passion for teaching.
That’s why Stand Together Trust (STT) is announcing an open request for proposals from organizations and experienced education professionals who have solutions to recruit, train, and deploy educators in new and unique learning environments. We are committed to investing $1.5 million over the next 12 months to support efforts that increase the pipeline of talent and schooling options in locations with demonstrated demand from families.
For more information and to apply, visit the RFP at the Stand Together Trust website.
We should organize society, our public school systems and job training programs, around the concept of collective ownership instead of private businesses.
REMOVE MONEY, REMOVE CORRUPTION
If every worker got in exchange for their professional careers everything that they needed to have a happy, balanced life in a safe and healthy world governed by fair laws and modern practices, then our use of science and ethics to generate daily goods and services, as basic human entitlements, will have fulfilled the purpose of socialism: to ensure “universal protections for all by all” without using money anymore or national currencies to uphold private capital, maintain structural wealth, or support banks and financing and other profit-making activities.
