We’re Going LIVE!

For the Love of Learning Show

Four members of the ASDE organizing team were recently interviewed on For the Love of Learning (ep#114). If you missed the live broadcast, you can now watch it on YouTube, here. Several topics were discussed, such as how the term Self-Directed Education describes many paths, including unschooling (26:10), and the nuances of supporting self-directed learners (49:06).

Local SDE Groups on Facebook Live

Would you like ASDE to have a Facebook Live event to promote your local SDE group? Contact Bria Bloom, our Community Manager, at bria@self-directed.org.

Our first Facebook Live event will be hosted by Aaron Eden — a local SDE group organizer in Monterey, California — next week on ASDE’s Facebook page. (Be sure to Like/Follow our page so you’ll be notified of the event.) Details will be posted on our FB page several days before the event.

  • Difference Between Neglect and SDE — “Sometimes I worry that letting my kids ‘do what they want’ all day is really just me being lazy and not having the discipline to sit them down and ‘make them learn’ (yes I know logically that’s ridiculous). I’d love to hear everyone’s thoughts.”
  • Advocating in Your Community — “Our SDE group advocates in our community by posting interesting things on Facebook, creating a place for youth to congregate and adults to get support, offering quarterly viewings of Class Dismissed, and having a library with books related to SDE. What is your group doing?”
