How a "wiggly kindergartener" inspired one parentpreneur: Elizabeth McMeans on launching a Prenda pod

from LiberatED Podcast · host Kerry McDonald

I'm sure many parents will relate to the story of my guest today, Elizabeth McMeans. Elizabeth's pathway to education entrepreneurship stemmed directly from her efforts to find a more nurturing, personalized educational environment for her son as he approached kindergarten age. He would have been one of the youngest in his kindergarten class, and that concerned Elizabeth as she saw the ways in which today's kindergarten classrooms are more rigid and less play-based than they were even a few decades ago. She discovered the idea of hybrid homeschooling and eventually launched her own Prenda-affiliated learning pod in Wichita, Kansas.  Sign up for Kerry's free, weekly email newsletter on education trends at fee.org/liberated.
