The ASDE Compendium

a rich collection of knowledge, wisdom, and lived experiences
from practitioners of Self-Directed Education (SDE) around the world.

We are so excited to announce the launch of The ASDE Compendium Self-Guided Course!

We worked with over 60 creators to curate a diverse array of content, complete with: reflection questions; deschooling moments; prompts to help you pause & reflect on your values, beliefs, and practice; and a section to support you in making commitments to an ongoing reflection and deschooling practice.

The result? A vast resource with nearly 100 articles, videos, and audio. You will also get a bonus reflection workbook uploaded straight to the course, for your use, when we release it on October 31st.

This Compendium, hosted online with lifetime access, is a collection of four courses in one, including:

Intro to Self-Directed Education

• What is SDE?

• A Day in the Life

• Most Common Topics in SDE

• Intersectional SDE

Liberatory Practices for Parents, Caregivers, and Facilitators

• Practices and Tools

• The Deep Work: intersectional considerations

Building Resilient SDE Community:

• Grounding Values and Getting Started

• Being in Community: conflict, decision making, and more

• Creative Solutions and Communities

Neurodivergence and Disability (ND&D) in SDE

• Deschooling ND&D

• Supporting our Brains and Bodies

• Supportive Community for ND&D

Plus a resource section designed to go even deeper into individual topics!

(But, if you really want to read more…) We have three pricing options to recognize varying degrees of personal means while still respecting the deep work, time, knowledge, and expansive number of contributors that went into building this resource.

If you are interested in a future guided cohort option, please fill out our interest form here. A guided cohort is a great option for someone who benefits from learning in community and making connections with others while expanding into the practice of SDE.

We envision this experience as a great fit for...

• Parents and caregivers who are starting to deschool or looking for support around their ongoing deschooling and SDE journey.

• Facilitators that are new or new(er) to SDE and could use support and learning in how to facilitate in an SDE space.

• Seasoned SDE practitioners who want to go deeper and push the edges of their learning.

• Relatives, grandparents, friends, partners, and other folks who are interested to learn more but don’t quite know where to start!

• And anyone looking to learn more about Self-Directed Education.

  
  

You can share this link with anyone who might be interested or want to learn more.

Sincerely,

The ASDE Team
