Review Quotes
A quiet, readable, encouraging guide to parents and educators, filled with examples, anecdotes and first-person accounts, on what may be the fastest growing sector in American education.
Hybrid learning and homeschooling have become prominent models over the past school year as millions more students learned from home, whether part or full time, during the coronavirus pandemic. Against that backdrop, Mike McShane's new book, Hybrid Homeschooling, would seem both topical and timely. It is both of those things, but not for reasons directly related to the pandemic or the various phenomena of blended and remote learning that became so widespread in much of the country beginning in March 2020.... The book serves ultimately as a survey-level primer on this phenomenon, which is an important one to understand because hybrid homeschooling may make homeschooling and school choice more accessible to millions of families in the years ahead.
Mike McShane provides a fascinating look into the world of hybrid homeschooling, profiling the families and educators that make it happen and the policies that can advance or threaten this choice. This book is a roadmap for understanding how schools can successfully work with families and leverage technology. The hybrid homeschooling model will shape the future of education.
