Have you heard about the "build your own personal curriculum" trend that’s been popping up on social media over the past several months? According to CNN, “…creators have been sharing self-guided study plans and reading lists, setting off a delightfully wholesome domino effect.”
It’s all the best parts of school, without the pressure of tests or assignments. The idea is simple: select a topic you want to explore and tailor your study to how you learn best. Some people create structure by following a schedule and “units” of study or by working through a booklist, while others simply set aside time to research a particular topic. Fun!!
