Learning to Write

We're continuing our "core skills" series (which we started with Learning to Read) by discussing how students at a self-directed democratic school learn the essential skill of writing. We're joined on this episode by AVS graduates Jesse and Vanessa who talk about how the extensive communication they engaged in at school translated into their adult lives as interesting communication careers. We all know written communication is foundational, and you can find out how our students engage with, and find their passion for, the written word on this episode of the Alpine Valley School podcast! Also available on YouTube. Want more? Hear Jesse and Vanessa share more of their personal journeys on their individual podcast episodes. Watch a video about the 3 R's (reading, writing, arithmetic) in Sudbury Schooling.
