Starts today! I’ll be speaking tomorrow on “Becoming an activist in your own neighborhood”- All about engaging those around us in conversations about educational freedom. Head to my events page to register and be sure to check out the entire Forum line up @freedomtolearn.uk

Does Star Wars count as learning?

How does self-directed learning work for a teen? My daughter came upon a historical fiction book called “Luck of the Titanic” by @staceyleeauthor which followed the story of the few Chinese immigrants aboard the ship. This led to a deep study of the Titanic, an online immigration course @gilderlehrman and a chance to interact with author and professor Jane Hong @janehfromjersey as she shared online about her book, “Opening the Gates to Asia”. It’s so inspiring to see my daughter devouring this content, most of which I was not exposed to in school.

For those of you local to Ealing, I’ve created a space to highlight local places to play and learn @ealinghomeeducation . This will also be a space that we can direct people to who might be interested in home education and wish to learn more about the opportunities. Please follow and tag others in our Ealing home ed network!

Are you a home educator or facilitator in a progressive school? I'll be speaking next Friday at the @freedomtolearn.uk Forum 2021. This year the theme is "A Manifesto for Action" and my talk will be about organically engaging our local communities in conversations about educational freedom. Be sure to check out the full forum line-up at Freedom to Learn.

We viewed two very different exhibitions @tate Britain: J.W. Turner and Paula Rego. Immediately noticing the stark contrast in their work, we had an interesting discussion as to how every artist comes to their work (whether it be a canvas, or a keyboard, or a blank page) with a different background including distinct political, social, and cultural circumstances. And it all sort of spills out into their craft.
