Cohort One: Intro to Self-Directed Education
This purchase is for the Guided Cohort for The ASDE Compendium: Intro to Self-Directed Education. For more information on the guided cohorts, see our main info page here.
Dates: Jan 18 • Feb 1 • Feb 15
Meeting Times: 12-130pm Eastern Time
In this cohort, we lay the foundation—what Self-Directed Education really is, how it shows up in varied ways in direct practice, the most common topics and questions in SDE, and the intersectional framework that are key for a liberatory practice of SDE. Whether you are new to SDE, or want to ground yourself in key values, this is a great place to start.
Note: If you want to sign up for another individual six-week cohort, you can find the sign-up links for those here.
