We help learners of all ages cultivate the adaptable mindsets and skills necessary to carve their own path in their education and careers.

In this episode, we’ll continue our discussion about ‘deschooling’, outlining 5 action steps we can take in our quest to become enthusiastic, self-directed learners.

If you’re new to the podcast, The Resilient Learner Podcast may be for you if you relate to any of the following:

• You love to learn and are currently trying to learn something (start a new career/major/school/degree/class) but you’re feeling fearful/stuck/unclear about how to proceed.
• You lack clarity about your desires, goals, purpose and don’t  know where to begin to figure it all out.
  
• You feel that your education did NOT prepare you to be successful in the ‘real world’ and want to do something about it now.
• You have impostor feelings and self-doubt is eating you alive and limiting your professional opportunities.
  
• You were a high achiever in K-12 and labeled as having ‘a lot of potential’, yet find yourself stuck and dissatisfied with your education and/or career.
  
• You were very good at following paths created for you by authority figures, but feel incapable of creating your own ‘life syllabus’.

Welcome to The Resilient Learner Podcast!

We help learners of all ages cultivate the adaptable mindsets and skills necessary to carve their own path in their education and careers.

In this episode, we’ll be talking about ‘deschooling’, which is an idea borrowed from the homeschooling world and represents a specific period between leaving the traditional school environment and beginning a homeschooling journey, where the child does very little formal work and reconnects with their love of learning. I am going to adapt this idea and discuss how it can be applied to adult learners who want to unlearn some behavior and thought patterns from the traditional school environment that get in the way of the quest to become enthusiastic self-directed learners.
