    Mini-Eps: Flexi-Schooling

    🎧 Alt Ed Explorers: Flexi-Schooling with Finding the Flex What if education worked more like hybrid working, part at school, part at home? In this Alt Ed Explorers Mini Ep, we explore flexi-schooling, an arrangement that lets children spend part of their week in school and part learning at home. It’s an option that’s growing fast, but many parents and schools still don’t know it exists. To unpack what it really looks like, we’re joined by Sarah Sudea, founder of Finding the Flex, an organisation created in 2024 to raise awareness of flexi-schooling and help more families access it. A former teacher and parent coach specialising in school attendance challenges, Sarah shares her insights on bridging the gap between families seeking flexibility and schools unsure how to offer it. 💡 Discover how flexi-schooling can work in practice, the policies that support it, and how collaboration and trust between parents and schools can transform a child’s experience of education. #AltEdExplorers #FlexiSchooling #FindingTheFlex #AlternativeEducation #HybridLearning #ParentPartnershi #homeeducation

    1. Self Managed Learning

    In this first episode of Alt/Ed Explorers, we dive into the world of Self Managed Learning (SML), a powerful alternative to traditional schooling where young people are trusted to take charge of their own education, guided by mentors. We speak with Dr Ian Cunningham, founder of the Self Managed Learning College, about: - Why traditional schooling is stuck in the past - How SML nurtures autonomy and thinking outside the box - The five questions we should be asking our children (and ourselves) to make sure we're on the right path. Listen, share, and follow for insights into alternative education models and how you can implement some of them in your own home! #AltEdExplorers
