In this episode, Kelly and Michelle explore how Anastasis Academy approaches accommodations with a deeply personalized philosophy, treating every student as an individual learner. They discuss the flexibility they have as a private school not bound by traditional IEP (Individualized Education Plan) laws and highlight the role of the Department of Education in protecting student rights. The Department’s mandates ensure that all students, regardless of background or ability, receive an equitable education. Kelly and Michelle emphasize how this legal framework allows them to partner with public districts, access essential resources, and connect families to services. They also unpack the crucial difference between equality and equity in the classroom, explaining how Anastasis creates an inclusive and supportive learning environment by tailoring accommodations to each student’s needs.
