Episode 62 - 12 Years Alternative Educating: Stop Replicating School At Home - Cassie Olguin

Send us Fan MailIn this episode of the SupportED Learning Podcast, Dr. Joe sits down with Cassie Olguin, alternative education content and events manager at Outschool, to talk about what actually works when a traditional classroom isn't the right fit.Dr. Joe and Cassie discuss why the most common mistake families make is recreating school at home and how long it took her to unlearn that herself, what interest-driven learning looks like in practice and why it isn't the easier path, what separates online teachers who keep kids engaged from ones who lose them in the first five minutes, how neurodivergent learners benefit from controlling their own schedule and taking breaks, and how to distinguish genuinely engaged screen time from passive scrolling.This episode is especially useful for parents considering homeschooling or hybrid schooling, families of neurodivergent students, parents in areas with limited local resources, and educators moving from in-person to online teaching.Enter code at checkout for up to $35 USD off a single class.
