Abstract:
This thesis answers the question How can recent changes in the educational environment be leveraged to improve K12 education for military-connected children In 2011, the Obama Administration issued a report, Strengthening Our Military Families, in which the president, the vice president, and every member of the presidents cabinet committed to ensuring the well-being of military families, including the education of military-connected children. This study examines the current American public school system and its reliance on the traditional factory-based education model to determine the systems efficacy in educating military-connected children, a student population with unique academic, social, physical, and psychological challenges. Rather than depending on the traditional education model to educate military connected children, this study recommends the implementation of a competency-based personalized learning modelstrengthened by technologywithin an expanded domestic network of the United States Department of Defense Education Activity to improve the K12 education of military-connected children.
