Learning can become frustrating for students who do not find traditional schooling fulfilling-or even satisfactory. And this discontent can leave parents and their children seeking alternatives. In Forging Paths: Beyond Traditional Schooling, you will read the stories of nine young people who took varying nontraditional educational routes and achieved success.In Forging Paths, Wes Beach-an educator, advocate, speaker, and author-invites you to reconsider the notion that successful career paths always involve the collection of accolades or immediate entrance to a prestigious university.By walking in their shoes, you will discover how passion, persistence, and creativity led to the nine young people featured in Beach's book finding satisfaction while maybe even accumulating some traditional accomplishments along the way.

What guarantees success? Four years of high school? A college degree? A 9 to 5 job? Perhaps. But many teens yearn for something more. In Self-Directed Learning: Documentation and Life Stories, Wes Beach asserts that individuals who recognize their genuine interests and talents require only their self-awareness, confidence, passion, determination, and sense of autonomy to propel them forward. Self-Directed Learning includes the stories of individuals reaching beyond traditional expectations to meet their own needs head on. Beach, an educator, advocate, speaker, and author, also provides transcripts and resources that his students used to gain admission to colleges and universities. Self-Directed Learning speaks to young people longing to pursue their passions and grow into productive and fulfilled adults.
