Each year, iNACOL surveys our members for the top federal and state policy issues they are seeing in their work. iNACOL\u2019s more than 5,000 members represent diverse viewpoints from <\/span>personalized<\/span><\/a>, <\/span>competency-based<\/span><\/a>, <\/span>blended<\/span><\/a> and online education. They provide a powerful feedback loop on the impact of federal and state education policy on students, educators, schools and systems and help to identify potential policy solutions. <\/span><\/p>\n Unique for a national organization engaged in education policy, iNACOL\u2019s advocacy work and policy frameworks are informed by a diverse cross-section of front-line innovators, practitioners, experts, and leaders working in a wide range of roles in education. <\/span><\/p>\n iNACOL\u2019s deep reach into the field, through our members, allows us to better understand trends and stay up-to-date on policy barriers. The knowledge we gain through our policy advocacy helps us to illuminate the path forward for the field of personalized, competency-based, blended and online learning by anticipating future issues, opportunities, and gaps.<\/span><\/p>\n In May 2016, we asked our members to identify their top policy barriers. The following summarizes some of the more common policy issues iNACOL members face.<\/span><\/p>\n The most effective education policies are crafted and co-designed with educators and front-line practitioners. Insights and feedback from iNACOL\u2019s members inform our publications, like the iNACOL State Policy Frameworks 2016, as well as our day-to-day policy advocacy activities to promote policies that support and enable student-centered learning. <\/span><\/p>\n This is the second blog in a series for the iNACOL State Policy Frameworks 2016. Taken as a whole, these frameworks create a foundation for sustainable, systemic change that will dramatically increase personalized, competency-based learning opportunities for all students. The complete iNACOL State Policy Frameworks 2016 will be released in September.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n Learn More:<\/strong><\/p>\n Each year, iNACOL surveys our members for the top federal and state policy issues they are seeing…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":10609,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_relevanssi_hide_post":"","_relevanssi_hide_content":"","_relevanssi_pin_for_all":"","_relevanssi_pin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_unpin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_include_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_exclude_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_no_append":"","_relevanssi_related_not_related":"","_relevanssi_related_posts":"","_relevanssi_noindex_reason":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"issue":[377,398,378],"location":[],"class_list":["post-1320","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized","issue-state-policy","issue-build-balanced-systems-of-assessments","issue-fund-innovation"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n\n
