Parents push the boundaries of "quality" metrics in education

Dr. Dan Hamlin says that we’re seeing a broader movement away from solely focusing on academics—parents want schools to deliver more.

In this episode of Quality Matters, Dr. Dan Hamlin, co-founder of the Emerging School Models Conference and a professor at the University of Oklahoma, discusses the exponential growth and increasing interest in innovative education models. He explores how these models challenge traditional metrics, focusing on cultivating discipline, safety, and relationships over test scores.

Our conversation highlights the complexities of measuring quality across diverse educational environments and examines whether families are pushed out of traditional schools or pulled into emerging ones.

Dan’s insights offer a fresh perspective on the evolving education landscape, emphasizing the need for nuanced evaluation and a deeper understanding of what parents truly value in education.
