Self-Directed Education Facilitator, Parent, Advocate, and Coach
What are Flying Squads? My Youtube Channel. June 2021.
Flying Squads, based in Self-Directed Education, youth liberation, and unschooling, abolish the lines of distinction of adult and youth spaces by intentionally playing & existing in the public without predetermined destinations or materials.
"Education is not preparation for life; education is life itself." -John Dewey I am a born and raised unschooler: my first school was college. My self-directed education has been such a strong influence that I have committed my life's work to advocating for SDE for all. I have had the opportunity to to help others learn in a variety of ways, including teaching Martial Arts since I was 14 years old. I currently work as an early childhood educator in a play-based early learning center in Seattle. In addition to my work with children and families, I write, present, and facilitate workshops on early education. I am also helping to organize with the Alliance for Self-Directed Education. To further my career and education, I am currently attending grad school at the Portland State University distance program in early childhood education.
