Sample presentation topics:
Creating Your Family’s Best Learning Environment
What exactly is a “learning environment” and how do we really make our homeschooling efforts work? We can have the best motivation, a sensible blueprint, and the content of our materials determined within our homeschools and still fall short of what we want to see happen when the reality of the day hits. Accepting the fact that no homeschool is perfect and every family has a teaching approach that is uniquely theirs, we can implement some universal strategies to obtain results that are fruitful for both the parents and the children. So come and learn what it means to “environ” your family and get ready to really “see” your child; recognizing outside influences, internal dynamics, heart issues, learning styles, and their developmental seasons so that you can respond with appropriate teaching tools and planning methods that will serve to both encourage your children and to simplify your homeschooling experience.
No-Regrets Education for the Full-Time Family
Looking at the heart of education, we must wade past the “three – R’s” and realize that providing our children instruction in all manners of life issues and behavioral expectations is a 24x7 responsibility. Yes, some days it seems like we are attempting to do the impossible and find ourselves just treading water; especially when crisis comes. Yet realizing that the fullness of your child’s education is only partly met by the curriculum you choose, you will find that living a “no-regrets” life starts with a family vision that directs the tone of your home, embodies uncompromising strategies, and extends through all of your family’s experiences. Learn how to keep perspective and focus on the big picture of your home education journey as Mrs. Gary shares their family’s personal journey towards a “no-regrets” education for their children; particularly in light of their oldest son’s recent cancer diagnosis and subsequent treatments.
