Hi there, I’m Greg
I'm an educator who believes that a self-directed philosophy for learning that promotes individual growth and accountability can benefit the oversight and efficiency desired by a community's school setting. When such a balance is achieved, what forms is something I call Self-Directed Schooling.

Greg Mullen is a credentialed educator that has spent the past few years developing an approach toward standards-based education through a lens of social-emotional learning. Inspired by his years as a classroom teacher in California public, private, and charter schools, his focus now is helping schools, teachers, and families troubleshoot obstacles in personalizing education. He enjoys spending his spare time researching across academic disciplines and occasionally performing as a rock musician. Having released his first book, Creating a Self Directed Learning Environment, he continues to write and speak on topics of personalizing education across the country.
