The impact of remote and hybrid work on American life has led to a growing interest in applying similar flexibility to education. The case study, In Our New Hybrid World, Where Do Public Charter Schools Fit?, explores the concept of flex-based learning. It is a model that blends in-person and at-home instruction to provide a customizable and personalized education experience for students. Flex-based learning allows parents, teachers, and students to tailor their educational journey according to their individual needs and interests.
The case study also examines best practices for flex-based instruction, and the unique advantages charter schools bring to this model. By combining academic milestones with flexible scheduling, this approach supports diverse learning styles and environments. The study also addresses challenges, future opportunities, and provides guidance on how educators, parents, and policymakers can implement this model in their own communities.
