Military Learning Resources

Military Learning Resources are for the education of military children. These resources are designed to support students’ success, from career development to military readiness. Many of these resources are free and will provide you with the knowledge you need to support military-connected students. Parents of military children are often confused by the wide range of educational opportunities available to them. Several training sources are examined in this article for you.

There are several types of military learning resources. Some are available online and some are available in-residence. In-residence classes are unit-funded, but some online courses require CAC access. There are also free and low-cost courses and certifications available to those interested in pursuing military-related careers.

Army’s Lessons Learned program (ALLP)

For example, one of them is the Army’s Lessons Learned program (ALLP), it is a valuable tool for military training. This program is synchronized across all 27 Army Schools and ten Centers of Excellence. It includes online learning resources and classroom-based lectures from veteran instructors. The resulting online course will be helpful for those who are just beginning their military career.

Military Child Education Resource Center

Another example, there are military child education resource centers, which are designed to support families with children in the military. These organizations help military children achieve academic success and positive educational opportunities. Military Child Education Resource Center is a national organization of school superintendents that represents school districts with large military populations. The Center provides resources such as scholarships for spouses, military children’s camps, and retreats for wounded and reuniting families. It is also a good resource for military parents and educators to consider, as many of these resources are free.

The Interstate Compact on Educational Opportunity for Military Children (IIEMC)

The other one is The Interstate Compact on Educational Opportunity for Military Children (IIEMC), it helps eliminate roadblocks to educating military kids. The compact allows military children to enrol in a new school upon moving and ensure that they are placed in an appropriate academic program. The ultimate goal is to ensure that all military children graduate on time. And this can only happen when the military community is supportive of these children. Therefore, if you’re thinking of educating a child, think about all the resources available to them.

Installation School Liaison Officers

Moreover, we desire to mention Installation School Liaison Officers who are available to help school administrators understand the Compact and military learning resources. Each state has a representative on the Interstate Compact Commission. That representative is responsible for ensuring that rules are implemented in their state. Contacting the state’s representative may help. The Compact Commission is a great resource for parents who have concerns about the way their school district is complying with the rules. You can find a Liaison Officer through their website or by contacting the state’s ISO.
