A must-read for parents, educators and education policy-makers. Education is transforming rapidly at this time and Self-Directed Education is one of the fastest growing alternatives - for good reason.If you have wondered why so many young people lose their love of learning, develop math/s or reading 'allergies', suffer from school stress, exam anxiety or learning difficulties, and wished for a way to bring learning back to its place as one of the great joys of life - this book is the AHA you have been waiting for.Je'anna L Clements helps readers understand exactly what this kind of education involves, why it works so well, and what is needed in order to optimise it. This is the first book in the Helping The Butterfly Hatch series, and acts as a primary text for the HtBH international Self-Directed Education facilitator development program.
