In Adventures in Self-Directed Learning, Dr. Bernard Bull draws from over a decade of research to build a compelling case for the importance of nurturing agency, ownership, and a capacity for self-education in learners. He casts a vision for education in a connected age, offers readers a collection of practical suggestions for how to get started, and also works through common challenges and pitfalls. This is a must read text for anyone who believes that education should equip learners to fully embrace the challenges and opportunities of life and learning in the contemporary world. ""The mission statements of most schools include some paean to students becoming 'life-long learners.' Dr. Bull's Adventures in Self-Directed Learning makes the case for why this is more critical than ever and offers some sound advice on how teachers can encourage their students to walk this path.""  --Kevin Dunning, Superintendent, Bellevue Christian School Dr. Bernard D. Bull is Assistant Vice President of Academics, Chief Innovation Officer, and Associate Professor of Education at Concordia University Wisconsin. He is author of Missional Moonshots: Insight and Inspiration in Educational Innovation, and What Really Matters?: Ten Critical Issues in Contemporary Education.
