Local SDE Group Organizers Meetups are Shifting
Local SDE Group organizers meetings are shifting to monthly support meetings for SDE Efforts! After six years of local SDE group meetups, we decided to shift our purpose and conversations to be more inclusive of the various efforts that everyone is engaging in. We will continue to meet monthly and support one another in our SDE Efforts, whatever those may look like! Some examples of SDE efforts are starting co-ops, playgroups, or centers; holding monthly meetups for parents; expanding center offerings to support the local community; creating cohorts to work through deschooling, and more. We will also explore having themes or topics for some of the meetups. If you want to join these monthly meetups, please email us at bria@self-directed.org to be put on the list!
New Youth Partnership Directory
The Unschool Files has a brand new Youth Partnership Directory! The Youth Partnership Directory is a community resource for homeschooling, unschooling, and self-directed families, for youth to connect with mentors who can support them in a variety of ways.
New SDE Facilitators Discord
There is a new discord server for Self-Directed Education Facilitators! This server is for you if you facilitate SDE with young people in any capacity. It is a place where we can come together across models and centers, and share experiences and wisdom with one another. The server has been a co-created effort, and the collaboration is ongoing. We hope to see you there, and please spread the word far and wide to other SDE facilitators! You can join here.
