Change Makers feat. Lance Izumi, Pacific Research Institute; Amelie's Story; The Need for COVID Response Teams

CharterNation Podcast

Is homeschooling the next wave in education? That's the topic of this week's Change Makers interview on the CharterNation Podcast Episode 5. CCSA's President/CEO Myrna Castrejón interviews Lance Izumi, Senior Director of the Center for Education at the Pacific Research Institute about his new book, "The Homeschool Boom: Pandemic, Policies and Possibilities."
Then, we spend time with Amelie Caswell, a high school senior who was on the verge of suicide until she found Motivated Youth Academy (MY Academy), a nonclassroom-based charter public schools that works to give at-promise students a second chance.
And finally, we hear from Angella Martinez, the CEO of KIPP SoCal, about why she believes each and every public school campus should be equipped with a COVID Response Team.
