K-12 Expansion into Higher Education

K-12 schools, especially those known for their own unique educational philosophies and pedagogies, have been working on preparing their own teachers and spreading their philosophies and pedagogies through their own graduate schools. Recent years have seen a number of K-12 schools developing their own graduate programs that offers masters and doctoral degrees. In this episode, we invited leaders and students from two recently emerged graduate schools to share their experiences. Bridges Graduate School of Cognitive Diversity in Education is an expansion from Bridges Academy, a group of K-12 schools that serve twice-exceptional students. High Tech High is a group of schools that have been known for their innovative practices. It has also built a graduate school called High Tech High Graduate School of Education.
