Sudbury model

The Sudbury model is an educational approach emphasizing student-led learning. In this model, students have substantial control over their education, choosing what to learn and how to learn it, rather than following a fixed curriculum. The environment fosters self-motivation and responsibility, with adults serving more as facilitators or mentors rather than traditional teachers. It aims to cultivate independent, self-directed learners by trusting students to pursue their interests, which can lead to a more meaningful and personalized educational experience. This approach challenges conventional classroom structures by valuing student autonomy and intrinsic motivation in learning.
