Explanation:
. Worldschooling
Traveler and writer Eli Gerzon coined the fancy term of “worldschooling” to describe a form of experiential learning that involves traveling around the world. You can think of it as a fairly literal take on the popular saying that the world is your classroom.
The concept may sound intimidating, but some families have become famous through participating in this type of alternative schools. Take the Dennings family — they’ve been nomadic for 10 years! This family of nine enjoys its cultural experiences and literally learns as it goes.
We’re aware that teachers can’t just move their classrooms around the world, but there are educational tours like EF Tours, that you could consider. These programs offer trips to numerous countries.
Benefits of worldschooling
Exposes children to different cultures and provides a global education that isn’t limited by perspectives or beliefs
Allows students to learn based on experiences and their surroundings
Offers a hands-on approach and flexible curriculum based on an individual student’s needs
Let’s put it this way: You, too, would be pumped to learn about the Colosseum if you were actually standing in it!
But as with everything in life, worldschooling has its downsides, too.
Challenges of worldschooling
Students may have less interaction with other teachers or peers
Lacks the routine of traditional schools which may some students may need
. Unschooling
Unschooling is an alternative method of education practiced by some worldschoolers and homeschoolers, but it’s accessible to anyone.
The concept behind unschooling is simple: Students decide what to learn and when to learn it. The hope is that they’ll be more motivated to attend “class” if they’re given this freedom of choice.
Interestingly (and perhaps a bit paradoxically), unschooling can also be a school’s philosophy. One of the most popular of these free schools is Summerhill, a boarding school established in England in 1921 for children 11 years or older. The school follows Scottish writer A.S. Neil’s philosophy that children should be able to learn and discover on their own and to be free of adult authority.
Summerhill has many different classes, even though students are not required to attend them. However, students are always encouraged to play outdoors, socialize, and create.
At such free schools, as they’re sometimes called, there are usually democratic classrooms that rely on student voice, and there may be a lot of unstructured time.
One study by Psychology Today found that the majority of unschooling students who chose to attend college reported no notable difficulties with the academic work and spoke of increased educational motivation.
Now, back to your classroom: Understandably, you can’t throw your entire lesson plans out of the window. But you could try offering a unit with a little less structure (and more student choice) to see how it goes.
Benefits of unschooling
Encourages positive attitudes about learning and places an increased emphasis on developing life skills
Affords greater flexibility (students don’t have to adhere to a rigorous school schedule) and time for students to be active in their community
Some students claim that unschooling causes less stress than a traditional academic setting
Challenges of unschooling
Lack of records — many unschoolers lack report cards and don’t participate in standardized tests
Unschoolers may have difficulties with knowledge systemization
