Next Steps: Natural Creativity's Approach to Self-Directed Education

Natural Creativity has been facilitating self-directed education in Germantown since 2016. Our particular approach to partnership education, youth autonomy, language, whole-family engagement, and conflict resolution has made us a valuable resource to the 100+ families we have served through our weekday programs for homeschooling families.

Perhaps you've heard about our approach and want to learn more...then this is the workshop for you! Self-directed education is available for all ages; parents of any age are encouraged to attend this workshop.

This workshop is designed for:

• Current NC parents who want a refresher about why/how we do what we do (free for these families)
• Parents joining the Natural Creativity community next year
• Parents curious about an alternative to conventional schooling
• Educators who want to learn more about partnership education

Topics to be covered:

• The Three Cs (Collaboration, Creativity, Compassion)
• Creative Problem Solving
• Nonviolent Communication
• Practice Tools
• Conceptual Development
• Process Awareness
• Physical Environment
• Q&A

The workshop will be led by Chris Steinmeier, EdD (he/him). Chris is a the co-founder and co-director of NC and parent of 2 young people at NC.

This is a repeat of a workshop on 5/23, 3:30-5:30.
