About

Welcome to the K¹²International Academy Blog! This is the place where Teachers and Parents share their thoughts on educating students. Our experts come from all areas of the K12 organization, and cover an array of subjects and tips for our families and students.

Our goal is to hold engaging conversations with our readers who share in an educational journey with our K¹² International Academy. Jump in and tell us what you think!

Our bloggers are an enthusiastic group of people, willing to share their knowledge, experiences and personalities here.

While blogs can be free-wheeling and fun, please keep in mind that K¹² International Academy works within a highly regulated industry – education –where we are bound by privacy rules and extremely high ethical standards. This means that there are certain topics we will not be able to discuss here. For a full understanding of what we can and can’t discuss, be sure to refer to our Rules of Engagement and Terms of Service listed below. Whew. Now our lawyers are happy… let’s go!

2.We will read all comments and respond as quickly as we can. We may not be able to respond to all submissions, but rest assured, they will be read. Sometimes it may not be possible for us to publish or respond to your comment immediately (especially outside of business hours) but we will try to do so as quickly as possible.

4.We will do our best to get involved with the wider blogosphere and give back to the community where possible. We understand we are not writing in a vacuum here. This blog is a dialogue in itself and is also a part of the wider dialogue happening in online venues everywhere. We’ll do our best to get involved in conversations outside of thethinktanK¹² blog and we hope to link to and comment at the blogs of our regular commenter’s here.
