#23 - The Mental Health Benefits of Self Directed Learning with Troy Salazar

I feel like the last frontier that has yet to be realized is this frontier of education and how we are treating children
— Troy Salazar

After teaching in the public school system for 20+ years, Troy stumbled upon the educational approach of self directed learning and was inspired to open his own self directed learning center in West Des Moines, IA.

Liberty SDLC respects and supports each young person’s innate desire to learn and grow. They believe in small learning communities where it’s safe for members to be their authentic selves. They promote the freedom to play, explore, and create in a pressure-free environment. They celebrate individuals’ strengths and support their growth by helping members set and accomplish their personal learning goals.

Troy sees many educational and mental health benefits when allowing children to direct their own learning and hopes this conversation inspires others to consider their own or their child’s learning journey.
