Rockridge Institute runs a weekly online discussion and you are invited to participate. It’s a great way to increase your understanding of framing in general as well as specific issues. All you need to do is sign up and dive in. Rockridge Fellow Eric Haas writes:

… I am kicking off a new Weekly Workgroup, and I hope you’ll help me to make it a success by participating and spreading the word.

This week, we’ll discuss protection and empowerment as they apply to homeschooling: Protecting Homeschoolers, Respecting Parents. This is a great way to discuss other issues central to progressive government: two-way accountability and building community. You’ll also learn about a recent decision in the courts that is stirring up controversy about homeschooling and parental rights and responsibilities. There’s a lot more, too. So, let’s get into it.

Here’s the drill:

1. Sign up at Rockridge Nation http://www.rockridgenation.org…

2. Go to the Weekly Workgroup, read and comment. http://www.rockridgenation.org…

3. Spread the word, especially to teachers, parents, and others interested in homeschooling and education. Tell your friends and colleagues about this hands-on learning opportunity. Urge them to join Rockridge Nation and get into the action.

Learn, practice and enjoy. Earlier discussions are posted on the Rockridge Nation blog.
