However, where to begin? Geraldine Woods, who designed and directed the highly acclaimed independent study program at the Horace Mann School, offers a practical, step-by-step guide in her book. Under the supervision of teachers, students embark on a diverse range of projects, becoming teachers themselves and conducting seminars with their peers.
