At The Open School Self-Directed Learning and Democratic Decisions Are The Norm | Education Vanguard #102
When you hear the idea of a self directed democratic school, you might wonder if that means the students will vote for ice cream everyday.Or, more likely, you have a more mature viewpoint than I and are curious how a school can be democratic in its educational mission and still deliver a strong learning environment. Cassi Clausen is a core founder of Open School based in Southern California. At Open School, self directed learning is expected and democratic decision making is the norm. She explains how this concept works and what types of students, teachers (she does not call them teachers), and parents learn in this type of environment.
