“Over two days last week I sat next to Deb Singleton as she shared and talked with parents at the Unschoolers Platform Conference. As I’ve worked on my doctorate in educational psychology and two Master’s degrees in education I’ve become very familiar with many of the theories and approaches shared by Deb. I’ve heard these theories overstated and sometimes prescribed by others, but I’ve never heard them shared with the level of caution and understanding that I heard sitting within earshot those two days. Deb holds a level of appreciation and caution seldom seen outside of clinical researchers and yet applies the concepts with the heart of a teacher. She does not offer a ‘silver bullet’ but instead seeks to establish a system by which students can effectively learn. Her passion and compassion for all learners makes her a truly unique and very needed asset in our current educational environment.”
