Synopsis

SelfDesign, a methodology developed by Brent Cameron over the past 23 years, is much more than another take-off from traditional teaching methods. It is instead a philosophy and a practice based in the belief that children are natural learners. Cameron uses individualized strategies, specific language tools, and a focus on the positive to shift the very premise on which education is built. Through his stories of learners and families he takes the reader on a tour of a new paradigm for learning-the art and science of SelfDesign.

About the Author

Deeply touched by his daughter's capacity for natural learning, visionary educator Brent Cameron created a teaching model that allowed children to create their own programs, employing their innate enthusiasm for learning. This was the birth of Wondertree Learning Center, and it afforded children 6 through 13 a revolutionary opportunity. Several years later, using this innovative model, Virtual High was developed for teenagers. The inspiring results of these two programs have attracted international acclaim and media attention.
