Wendy Priesnitz is a Canadian advocate of alternative education and environmentalism .[1] [2] She was leader of the Green Party of Canada from July 1996 to January 1997.[3]
Early life
[ edit ]
Priesnitz originally trained to be a teacher. She then decided to educate her children at home.
She founded the Canadian Alliance of Home Schoolers in 1979.[4]
Teaching and publishing career
[ edit ]
She focuses on lifelong learning and biomimicry as a reason to look at decentralised or home (or autonomous) education.[5]
She is known for her advocacy of homeschooling /unschooling and home-based /green business . She describes the educational benefits as, "[unschooling] children generally live and learn, with the support of their families, based on their own interests and their timetables, and without curriculum, tests, or grades.".[6]
Priesnitz and her husband run Life Media (formerly The Alternative Press ). Since 1976, she has co-owned and edited Natural Life (magazine) , an award-winning sustainable lifestyles magazine. In 2002, she founded Life Learning Magazine , which she owns and edits.
She is the author of several books on homeschooling.
