philosophy of education

Because I'm thinking, we know that there are some states that have their own quality improvement rating systems, and we know that out of that in the US, that some of those states will take a national or an international accreditation in lieu of their state, um, accreditation or, you know, as a way to get you to up a notch, um, in their state.

But we also know, and I'm g- and this is-- the only one I'm gonna pull out, and it's not even a specific, it's more an educational philosophy, that at least I know in the state of Texas, the s-state's quality improvement program really struggles with Montessori programs.

Oh.

Not that they don't think Montessori's programs are quality programs, but most of the evaluators don't understand the educational philosophy well enough to know what to put in one of their boxes.

That's right.

Right? Like, their box says this, and they know what that looks like and what they think of as traditional-

Most states begin their, um, you know, their sub-committees start to form at the beginning of the new year, right at the end of this current year.

So you are, as a school, regardless of where your school is located, in a position to start peeling the layers back before they ever go and make any decisions in those sub-committees, right? Imagine that you're the voice that is in their ear when they sit at that round table talking about the next step of early learning in your state, and how all models of early learning can be represented well and achieve those higher rates or achieve those feathers without labeling tables and shelves only for the purpose of getting it.
