| Compass Centre for self-directed learning is a not for profit that provides teens with a way of completing their education in a noncoercive environment they define for themselves. Bob and Amanda visited Compass this week and spoke to Abby Karos and Rosalind McCanny, as well as students Isaac, Maia and Sarah.
Compass is offering free PD day activities on November 18 and holding a Celebration of Self-directed Learning at Impact Hub on December 1, featuring music by Moonfruits and an award and talk by Sean Wilson of the Ottawa International Writers Festival. You can get information or reserve your space at www.compassteens.org. You can support Compass with a tax-deductible donation through Canada Helps: https://www.canadahelps.org/en/charities/compass-centre-for-self-directed-learning/ |
