Alliance for Self-Directed Education - Imagine what would happen if, instead of sending children to coercive schools where their natural ways of learning are curtailed, we provided them with the resources that would allow their curiosity, playfulness, and other natural ways of learning to flourish. That is Self-Directed Education (SDE); education that derives from the self-chosen activities and life experiences of the learner.Alternatives to School - Research about home-based, self-directed learning, community resource centers, and democratic schools. By Peter Gray, research professor of psychology at Boston College
