Patrick (Pat) Farenga is a leading advocate of the modern homeschooling movement. Born in New York City, Farenga worked closely with homeschooling leader John Caldwell Holt on his Boston-based magazine, ''Growing Without Schooling'' (''GWS''). After Holt's death in 1985, he took over as publisher of ''GWS'' and president of the parent company, Holt Associates. Farenga is a prolific writer, and has authored or contributed to many of the other educational publications by Holt Associates. He has written articles for numerous publications including ''Mothering'', ''Paths of Learning'', ''Home Education'', and ''The Bulletin of Science, Technology, and Society''. He contributed chapters to ''The Encyclopedia of School Administration'' (1988) and ''A Parent’s Guide To Homeschooling'' (2002). Among his works, Farenga is perhaps best known as the author of ''The Beginner’s Guide To Homeschooling'' (1998) and ''Teach Your Own: The John Holt Book of Homeschooling'' (2003). In addition to his homeschooling career, Farenga is also an accomplished pianist and saxophonist. Though ''GWS'' ceased publication in November, 2001, and his own three children have grown to maturity, Farenga continues to write and edit educational material, and remains an active homeschooling advocate and consultant. ==External links == *(Pat Farenga's Official Website ) Pat Farenga *(A Listing of Information on Farenga and His Engagements ) Holt Associates/GWS *(Learning In Our Own Way ) Learning In Our Own Way: About Pat Farenga *(An Article on Unschooling ) By Pat Farenga *(A Preface for Articles in the Journal of Alternative Education ) By Pat Farenga *(Pat Farenga's YouTube channel which contains numerous video and audio recordings of John Holt and others explaining what they see as the methodology and benefits of unschooling ) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Pat Farenga」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
