 Our friends over at Acton Academy Northwest Austin have a fantastic podcast for Acton parents and really any parents who find themselves in the non-traditional education space. One of our favorite episodes is number 106 on structure. It addresses some common misconceptions about learner-driven education and the assumption that it must be total chaos! If you want to better understand how young people can manage their learning without things becoming a "Lord of the Flies" situation, check out the podcast wherever you find your podcasts!

Repost from our TikTok account run by the Launchpad (high school).
We had a great session 2 Exhibition of Learning! The elementary school studio presented the different body systems at their “biology conference.” 👩🔬 The middle school and Launchpad held their Film Festival, showing off commercials, PSAs, documentaries, and 36-hour films they made during this session’s Photography and New Media quest. 🎬📸 Exhibitions are Acton’s way of demonstrating the learning from the session, practicing public speaking and event planning skills, and receiving valuable feedback from their community. 👏👏  🔕 At Acton, we don’t rely on bells to signal when it’s time to switch tasks or subjects. Here, learners become the project managers of their own education!
They set their learning goals, track their progress, and determine what to focus on during work blocks. It’s about mastering the art of self-direction—choosing when to dive deep into a subject, when to shift focus, and how to stay engaged without external prompts. The power to learn lies within.🔑 Schedule a discovery call today!  🌟 This Giving Tuesday, Make an Impact That Inspires Lifelong Learners! 🌟
