What is Unschooling?

Pam Laricchia

Children are born curious, creative, and wired to learn—and we value those traits in adults! Still, as our children grow up, we often insist they change to fit into the education system, where curiosity is replaced by curricula, creativity by conformity, and learning by memorizing. 
But if you’d rather nurture your children’s curiosity, creativity, and love of learning, let me introduce you to the world of unschooling.  
In this audiobook, we’ll explore some of the common questions people have when they first hear about unschooling: 
What is unschooling? 
How will my child learn? 
Without a curriculum, what will they learn? 
How do I know they’re learning? 
Will unschooling work for my child? 
But what if my child already has trouble at school? 
What is deschooling? 
How do I get started? 
Life in the real world is much bigger and more exciting than a school can contain within its four walls. If you're ready to embrace life and eager to share its wonder with your children, unschooling might be for you!

Shattered and Becoming - A...

Andrew D. L. Goff

Shattered and Becoming: A Teacher’s Journey Between Policy and Purpose reveals the experience of working inside a system where policies, leadership decisions, and organizational cultures clash with the real needs of the people meant to be served and those providing the support. 
Through a story of classroom life, inclusion, advocacy, leadership, and personal growth, this memoir explores what happens when a teacher’s purpose is tested by stress, institutional barriers, and the pressure to comply. As he navigates early childhood education, special education, school leadership, and the fight for meaningful inclusion, Dr. Goff reveals how the very experiences that break us can also open the way for growth, clarity, and becoming. 
Perfect for listeners interested in leadership, inclusion, advocacy, personal growth, and system reform, Shattered and Becoming offers an honest look at the emotional realities of teaching and the courage it takes to hold onto purpose when the system loses its way. This audiobook is for teachers, administrators, education students, school counselors, family advocates, and anyone seeking inspiration around inclusion, integrity, resilience, and leadership in education.

Minorities - The Ongoing Fight...

Marcus Klein

This book contains three titles, which are the following: 
Child Soldiers - The use of child soldiers in armed conflicts represents one of the most tragic and pervasive human rights violations of our time. Children, often as young as eight or nine, are forcibly recruited or manipulated into participating in violent wars, often by rebel groups or government forces. These young individuals, deprived of their innocence and forced to endure unimaginable hardships, are exploited in ways that not only strip them of their childhoods but also leave lasting scars on their bodies, minds, and spirits. 
Racism - Racism has been a persistent and destructive force throughout human history, shaping societies, cultures, and institutions in ways that continue to reverberate today. It manifests in myriad forms—through prejudice, discrimination, systemic inequities, and violence—targeting individuals and groups based on their race or ethnicity. While strides have been made in confronting this global scourge, the fight for equality and human dignity remains far from over. This enduring struggle is deeply rooted in historical injustices and perpetuated by contemporary systems of power and privilege.  
Sexism - Sexism, a deeply entrenched social issue, has been pervasive throughout human history, shaping the experiences of individuals and communities across the globe. At its core, sexism refers to the belief that one gender is superior to another, typically manifesting in the unequal treatment and opportunities given to individuals based on their gender. While this issue affects all genders, it is most commonly seen in the discrimination against women and girls, who have been historically marginalized and denied the same rights and opportunities as their male counterparts.
