“How do I reimagine education? By putting no limits on what education can look like. We can teach in both traditional and non-traditional classrooms. It all comes back to the fact that all children learn differently, and parents are a child's best advocate. When we work in tandem with parents and schools, and embrace educational freedom, we create the best outcomes for our children.” - Clarice Jackson In this latest episode of Conscious Pathways, Clarice Jackson shares her visionary approach to education, highlighting the importance of flexibility, collaboration, and advocacy. As a passionate supporter of educational freedom, Clarice believes in empowering parents and tailoring education to meet the unique needs of every child. 🎧 Tune in now to hear more about how we can revolutionize education for all children!

Over in my work for Single Parent Rights, we are developing a single parent policy for schools with ideas from our members. It's still a work in progress so I'd love to get more feedback from: 👉Single parents 👉People working in schools 👉Those working in Diversity and Inclusion There are ideas around: ✅Language and tone: free from judgement ✅Care and clubs: single parent priority access ✅School uniforms: pre loved schemes, borrow boxes and limited branded items ✅Parent conferences: separate for both parents where needed ✅Fees: payment brackets ✅Diversity and Inclusion: training for teachers ✅Special days: being as inclusive as possible ✅Building community: establishing single parent groups within the school These - and many others - are fleshed out in the policy document. 👇 You can download it from the Single Parent Rights website here (scroll down to the 'become a single parent inclusive school' button). 👇 🔗https://lnkd.in/etFib7BP

🌟 Happy Children's Day! 🌟Today, we celebrate the spirit of childhood and the invaluable role that children play in shaping our future. On this special day, let’s take a moment to reflect on the importance of nurturing young minds and providing them with the love, care, and education they deserve. I believe that investing in our children is investing in a brighter tomorrow. As part of our commitment to social responsibility, we strive to create an inclusive environment where every child has access to quality education and opportunities for growth. Why is this important?

Let’s work together to ensure that every child has the chance to dream big and achieve their goals.

🌍✨ Human Rights Day: Empowering Vulnerable Children to Dream & Thrive ✨🌍 On this Human Rights Day, let us stand united to uphold the fundamental rights of every child, especially the vulnerable ones who face barriers in realizing their potential. 💡 Every child has the right to learn. Education opens doors to opportunities, unlocking the power of knowledge and equipping them with tools to shape their future. 🤝 Every child deserves the right to associate freely, building bonds that foster love, friendship, and collaboration. 🌱 Every child has the right to discover and explore their talents, unhindered by fear or limitations. 🚀 Every child should be empowered to dream big and become what they aspire to be—a doctor, scientist, artist, leader, or change-maker. Vulnerable children are not just the responsibility of one—they are OUR collective responsibility. Together, we can provide them with the resources, safe spaces, and encouragement to rise above their challenges and shine. Let’s ensure no child is left behind. Let’s give them the wings to soar! 🦋 💖 Because when we nurture their dreams, we build a brighter future for all. 🌟 #HumanRightsDay #EveryChildMatters #EducationForAll #EmpowerTheVulnerable #DreamExploreBecome #Inclusion #HopeForChildren #EqualRightsForAll
