Self-Directed Education
Resource Directory

WoW is an outdoor self-directed learning community, run by families and a handful of facilitators who are deeply committed to co-creating spaces for children to thrive.
Learning facilitators support the social-emotional growth of a mixed age group of children. Facilitators model clear communication, collaboration, and curiosity as they collaborate with learners to develop a safe and respectful space, and an inclusive culture that supports both individual and collective needs.
Specific responsibilities include:
● Be attuned to what children are playing, interested in, and working on.
● Assess the developmental levels and needs of learners and provide appropriate support, and guidance to meet those needs. Provide offerings that support and expand children’s emergent interests and play.
● Ensure children’s safety and family-determined boundaries
● Model effective conflict resolution/restorative justice processes for all community members as they engage with children
● Engage meaningfully in co-creating WoW’s emergent culture
● Attend quarterly membership meetings and bi-monthly SDE meetings
● Participate in monthly professional development meetings with other facilitators
● Maintain open, direct, and honest communication with teachers, families, Program Manager, and Community Council
