Intro
Chris Fugelsang CEO and Founder of Exceptional Path. Chris has a passion for helping students with executive functioning delays, this passion stems from his own experience. Executive functions are the brain skills needed to plan, organize, prioritize, manage time, get started, and stay focused.
Chris was always a good student but he found he was often forgetful, disorganized, and scattered that's when he decided to commit himself to becoming a better learner and figure out how his brain works. He believes that the school expects children to know and apply the content but never taught the skills that children needed to acquire it. It was this discovery that sparked his desire to help kids with unique learning profiles.
Top three takeaways
- Executive Functioning is the right fit for your child.
- With strong executive functioning we're more able to complete tasks, juggle a few different ideas in mind at a time, be flexible with our thinking, and manage our emotions when things don't go as planned.
- How executive functioning skills are more important now than ever.

She wrote hundreds of addition problems and math drills. Addsharp to the Pirate Treasure is the first official game in the Mathsharp series, but she also has games for subtraction, doubling and halving, and multiplication and division.

Intro
Jennifer Payne Pierson CEO and Founder of Jentopia Farm, she has been animal crazy since the beginning of her time on this Earth. She was that kid who brought home stray dogs and cats and, well, maybe even a chicken once. So it's no wonder she studied Animal Science! Jentopia Farm Experiences is safe and convenient for the whole family, and they keep the class sizes small to make sure students get the education they deserve. Here kids learn about a variety of farm-related topics, they offer private classes and field trips where families can experience real live farm animals.
Top three takeaways
- Most kids don't really know where their food comes from, whether it is an animal or plant product.
- Experiences, such as interacting with a variety of animals or learning about nature in a natural setting, can set the tone for a lifelong interest for many kids. Sometimes they won't even know they love a subject until they get to experience it.
- Hands-on learning outside is more important than people realize.

As she searched for educational materials to support almost everything she found online didn't comply with the approach she learned during her training, and over the years Jane ended up making hundreds of worksheets of her own.
Unsure if this was the direction God wanted her to venture. She prayed for doors to close if this was not what she was supposed to do. Instead, God's been opening them up! The responses from followers and parents of students she's worked with directly had been so encouraging, she's been doing it ever since!

Tiffany Philips Founder of Learning Made Easy Publishing was inspired by the negative impact virtual learning had on young children during and since the pandemic. She believes that it’s incredibly difficult to replicate the benefits of an in-person learning environment to young kids in a digital space. After seeing how ineffective virtual learning was for young kids to grasp fundamental concepts, she started Learning Made Easy Publishing.
She thought back to her childhood, where in addition to attending traditional school, her mom was heavily involved in her early learning, encouraging her through assorted workbooks, reading with her, and testing her knowledge leading Tiffany to reap the benefits of her mom’s involvement. So, taking inspiration from the advantages her mom’s presence and the resources her mom utilized and so the Handwriting Activity Workbook was born!
Top three takeaways
- Handwriting opens our brains up for learning by activating more areas of the brain than using a keyboard does.
- Studies show that students retain information better when working with new ideas through handwriting than typing.
- A solid foundation is the key to learning, it’s never to early to get the edge up on education!

Intro
Dr. Amit Dongol founder of Neurostem has a passion to give back as well as be part of an intellectual, healthy, and growing community. After earning a PhD in physics like all great intellects he realized there must be more all the while challenged to find a school that would meet his gifted son’s educational needs at the elementary school age. Through trial and error they enrolled him in public, private, chartered, and Montessori however none of them seem to be the right fit! He then decided to quit his job and took the opportunity and challenge to guide/teach him on his own.
In efforts to better help his son and prepare, he started teaching physics at Austin Community College and Southwestern University, Georgetown, TX as an Adjunct Professor. Quite serendipitously Amit realized there is a massive gap in our primary and secondary education system and the students struggling at college and University. Seeing this disconnect in education compelled him think to do something to correct and bridge the gap. Amit’s passion to reach out to and help younger generations develop critical and logical thinking ultimately led me to create a class that was truly unique, hands-on, and individualized for the youth in the community; thus the creation of Neurostem.
Top three takeaways
- You don’t need to be a teacher but instead, you can use multiple resources online and in person where people are already providing services focused on homeschoolers.
- Kids should explore different avenues to grow in knowledge and skills. This will help parents to be a part of their kids' learning environment.
- Amit wants your kids to be able to think logically and be able to ask questions and find the right answers rather than just believing in what is fed to them.

She has written two child development books, Toddler Discipline for Every Age and Stage andBaby's First Year Milestonesand is the lead instructor for all of Child of the Redwoods’ current programs. Her Big Dream? To make Montessori affordable and accessible to parents all over the world.
Aubrey and David founded Child of the Redwoods in 2017 to provide high quality, developmentally aligned online courses and curriculum to parents.
Top three takeaways
- Most people don't know that children are basically capable of teaching themselves. Our role as teachers/homeschoolers is better thought of as guiding rather than instructing.
- Montessori is for every child because it is developmentally based and individualized - but it's not necessarily for every parent.
- How Child of the Redwoods aims to continue this work but outside of the school system. Our goal is to help parents understand their children deeply so that teaching is intuitive.

Elizabeth Founder of Foundation Worldview She holds a B.S. from Gordon College in Elementary Education and Spanish, an M.S.Ed. from Northern Illinois University in Literacy Education, and an M.A. in Christian Apologetics from Biola University. Elizabeth began her professional career as an elementary teacher in a Christian school.
Several years into her teaching experience, Elizabeth realized that despite being raised in Christian homes, attending a Christian school, and being active in church, her students thought more like the culture than like Christ. Elizabeth began searching for materials that would equip her students to think critically, helping them discover that Christianity is the worldview that lines up with reality. After not finding any materials that met this need, she began creating a curriculum for her students.
Elizabeth first taught Foundation Comparative Worldview Curriculum as an after-school class for third through fifth graders, and the results were incredible! Students were transformed from passive recipients of information to active evaluators of every message they receive. Parents and teachers alike noticed the impact these materials had on students’ media consumption, academic achievement, and everyday habits. This transformation lasted beyond the elementary years and guided students’ thinking in junior high and beyond.
Top three takeaways
- Parents teach their children the foundation of the Christian worldview so their children can carefully evaluate every idea they are presented with through the lens of the truth of God's word.
- How Foundation Worldview equips children to carefully evaluate every idea they encounter and understand the truth of the biblical worldview.
- How their lessons engage children and guide their thinking through their program.

Here she began teaching elementary science, history, and high school English. Eventually she signed on with Academy Northwest© and became a teacher consultant.

Jessica Silverman, Ph.D. Co-Founder of Phenomena. Phenomena is a new destination for experiential learning that lets kids learn STEM concepts through play. Jessica and Jared cofounders believe that this visual, interactive medium is the most effective way to teach dynamic STEM concepts and relationships because it engages students in constructing their own mental models just like real STEM professionals.
Phenomena was developed to help every child understand that STEM concepts are within their reach and fun to learn. Phenomena shows how math and science aren’t separate subjects, they’re simply languages that help us describe the world. Phenomena also is designed to help learners get excited about STEM whether they’re learning independently, at home or in a traditional school environment.
Top three takeaways
- Homeschooling develops the student to be more engaged in their learning.
- Homeschooling allows the space to develop the skills needed to integrate and apply what they learn to address real challenges in the world and create real solutions.
- Lastly creating a homeschool curriculum and learning environment takes a lot of work! There are a wealth of resources out there to help kids learn, but finding materials that are effective and helpful for your child is no small feat.

Melody Gonzales Program Coordinator of Kallpachay. The idea behind Kallpachay took root when its founder and director, Miriam Epstein, observed the ease with which her group of preschool-age students were learning Spanish in an immersion setting.
Her Waldorf training emphasized the importance of an arts-based approach to primary-language education as well as the idea that children learn best through play and context-rich settings, and seeing this process unfold with a second language made it clear to her that the current model of second-language education was in need of an overhaul.
Her initial plan to contribute to this need was to start a Spanish immersion summer camp where an ideal synthesis of play and language learning could be realized.
Kallpachay has, from its inception, been nothing short of a labor of love. Her goal in starting this company was to provide children with enriching Spanish education experiences and honor their enthusiasm for life and learning.
Top three takeaways
- How many US presidents were homeschooled (Abraham Lincoln, George Washington, etc.), many scientist were homeschooled (Toma Edison and Alexander GrahamBell).
- How their program provides versatility to adapt to every type of classroom and every level of the student.
- How the children can learn Spanish not in the traditional method but in a very fun, engaging and enjoyable program.

Yvonne Strachan CEO of Inspirational Homeschooling she felt like she was carving out a new path for her family when she started homeschooling. She didn’t have a computer, the internet, YouTube, or social media. She faced challenges with learning difficulties and worked through the struggles that come with chronic illness and a debilitating injury. Even though she felt unequipped before she started, she learned along the way. And through it all, her faith was strengthened. She grew a deep desire to inspire others, reassuring them that they can and will succeed in cultivating knowledgeable, compassionate, gifted, faith-filled individuals that will impact our world in a positive way.
Therefore, she wrote her book Inspirational Homeschooling. She has also written articles for organizations and magazines such as The Old Schoolhouse Magazine, Christian Home Educators of Colorado, Homeschool Update magazine and more. Yvonne devotes her time to consult with homeschooling families free of charge, speak at conventions and for homeschool groups, and developed a website (InspirationalHomeschooling.com) that equips parents with resources.
You can purchase the Inspirational Homeschooling book on Amazon, Walmart, and Barnes and Noble.com. You can also visit her website for free resources and to schedule a free 30 minute personalized homeschool consultation.
Top three takeaways
- Homeschool students gain confidence as they work through situations in a home setting because they are not confuse with conflicting beliefs and convictions from the home to a different school environment. Things like acceptance or negative influences or comments by jealous or demeaning kids don't worried them.
- The benefit of homeschooling is that we can pinpoint situations that cause our kids discomfort and encourage and teach them how to engage and relate in different settings.
- Most homeschool kids are not intimidated by adults and can work with and relate to children of all ages. They easily adapt to different age groups and settings because they are exposed to a wide array of situations from field trips, gatherings, extracurricular activities, and study areas throughout the year, rather than the same group of kids and setting five days each week.

Johanna, CEO of Stop Read Go. STOP READ GO is an early literacy company, created with your littles in mind. This site focuses on introducing the World of Reading to babies, toddlers (1-3) and preschoolers (3-5) in a way that is more tangible, meaningful, and intuitive.
Johanna left the IT world to stay home when her little boy was born. This experience made her realize that children are much more capable than we believe them to be and that there is a huge learning potential inside of them. And in order to unlock this potential, we need to enable them, encourage them and give them the tools they need to succeed. Their built-in curiosity coupled with an enriching, loving and safe environment is all they need.
Now, Johanna wants to encourage and help other parents, caregivers and educators to do the same! How? By sharing her story and unique method and by creating early literacy products that makes Reading easier for you to teach and easier for them to learn.
The idea is not to force kids to memorize a list of random words or rules from a piece of paper, but to make reading a part of their daily lives, routines and activities, by incorporating reading in such a way that they won’t even realize they are learning or that you are teaching them (aka. Teaching in Disguise).
Top three takeaways
- Each child is unique, so their education needs to be customized to their unique individual needs and wants.
- How her method and products take advantage of the natural abilities children's brains come pre-built with.
- How Stop Read Go provides parents and caregivers with the tools and the information they need to teach their children to read from an early age.

Willow Chenoah Founder of Fields of Daisies, after "finishing" homeschooling her 3 children, she found myself still constantly thinking of fun ideas and topics that she wanted to teach. Our family had homeschooled in many circumstances and different parts of the world, so she also wanted to share the things she'd learned along the way. She wanted to encourage families who might be facing a financial crisis, or living overseas with limited resources, or families with multiple aged kids struggling to teach them all at once, that they could succeed and even ENJOY homeschooling in those seasons. So she created a free online based History curriculum, as well as free complete History/Literature based Unit Studies, that can be done from anywhere in the world that has an internet connection.
She have three amazing children that have taught me more about living, loving, learning, and knowing God than anything else she can think of. They have homeschooled in small towns and big cities, in foreign countries and in our rural home town, inside and outside, on buses, in cars, and on planes, in times of plenty and in lean times too. They have been homeschooling for more than 20 years. it’s been the best of times and the worst of times and she wouldn’t trade one minute of it for anything!
Top three takeaways
- She believes that if the parents can find passion within themselves, it will spill over to their children and create that in them as well.
- She loves to learn something new and share it with everyone.
- She created a free online based History Curriculum and History/ Literature based Unit Studies that can be done from anywhere in the world.

Carolyn VanGorkam, the editing coordinator for SchoolhouseTeachers.com, the curriculum arm of The Old Schoolhouse and also a Lesson Designer of several courses on the website. Carolyn joined Schoolhouse Teachers as a curriculum specialist on the quality assurance team; she is now working with the editing team as well. Her other interests include singing on the worship team, writing historical novels (she has two published on Amazon), and blogging about history and current events. You can find her website at thenovelhistorian.com.
She lives in Northern California with her family. Her husband, Dan, is a local worship pastor. Both of their children – homeschooled from 2006 – have now graduated from high school. Carolyn’s 16-year homeschool journey was preceded by a career as a credentialed math teacher and as a Christian school teacher of many subjects.
SchoolhouseTeachers.com has over 400 courses with a wide variety of approaches: Unit Studies, Charlotte Mason, Classical education, and more. We also have courses which cater to different learning styles some courses have mostly printed material and some have videos tailored for kids with specific need like those who learn by moving. She wish she'd been able to read when her kids were small is Kinetic Connections, which has suggestions for how to tailor learning for kids who learn by moving.
Top three takeaways
- You don't have to know all the material before you start teaching your child. You can learn alongside them!
- Newcomers think that the homeschool day should mirror a typical public school day. That approach loses the freedom and flexibility that traditional homeschooling offers.
- Deuteronomy 6:7 makes it clear that discipling our children is our primary responsibility as parents. Homeschooling allows that to happen every day. It's not easy, but it is worth it!

Alyssa Albano, Founder of The Fox Den Learning, since starting her teaching career at 16 years old, even from a young age, she could tell that not everyone learned the same way. She came to realize that students learn better when they’re guided by patient and understanding teachers who make lessons fun and engaging. Alyssa is from a small rural Canadian town that had limited programs and activities for kids so if you wanted to learn something, you didn't have much choice in who your teachers were and what type of programs you could participate in.
She was lucky to find a wonderful piano teacher who taught her to prioritize fun and fostered a love of music over progress. When Alyssa mentioned that she was interested in teaching, her piano teaxher encouraged and guided her! Thus marking the beginning of an amazing 15-year career in teaching.
Alyssa is wholeheartedly invested in seeing children thrive in a positive learning environment. The best feeling in the world is knowing that she made a positive impact on someone's life– and that will always be a foundational key piece to the Fox Den Learning. Here your student can learn and explore at their own pace with supportive and understanding teaching techniques and instill a healthy relationship with learning that embraces curiosity and enriches a child’s education from the ground up.
Top three takeaways
- Virtual classes and lessons offer access to a new world of teachers, which allows students to find someone who is truly a great fit for their learning needs and styles.
- The introduction of virtual learning has opened so many doors to alternative teaching styles and programs.
- She wanted to create a supportive environment that allows students to choose their path, and we, as their teachers, adapt to their needs to help them reach their goals.

Dr. Vanessa Rowan, Founder of Learning Biology with Dr. Vanessa. Ever since she was little, she have had a love for science and a fascination with how the body works. As she grew older, she began to work in labs and do research. She loved discovering new things! After she received my PhD in 2009, she began teaching Anatomy and Physiology, among other classes, at the University level.
The classes she taught were difficult and she enjoyed being able to take those difficult subjects and make them easier to understand. She have found a passion for teaching and increasing health literacy. The one thing we must understand is that even though not everyone will go into the medical field, there are instances in which you must be able to advocate for yourself or a loved one. The more you know about your body and how it works, the better you can understand and form those decisions.
Top three takeaways
- Homeschooling isn't always easy.
- Homeschooling doesn't need to be exactly like school.
- How Dr. Vanessa help students understand Anatomy and Physiology and how the body works and gaining basic knowledge about their body so they can make better decisions about their health in the future.

Dr. Rob Bell, Founder and Chief Scientist of Experimentary, getting his start with the CSIRO Education team before hosting the channel 10 science show Scope for over 11 years, Dr Rob developed a great knack for making science accessible, interesting, engaging and relevant.
He created a website "Experimentary" that is all about hands-on science, making it easier for parents to do with credible and rigorous science within it. His background is science first then some teaching, so he is really all about inspiring a love of science, and getting your hands on it is a good way.
He actually was inspired by the lack of decent hands-on science at his kids' school, and then realized the issue was translated to the homeschool community. Science seems to be an area that some are not very confident with, so his to help that. Dr Rob Bell's background is science first then some teaching, so his really all about inspiring a love of science, and getting your hands on it is a good way.
There are a range of levels within Experimentary. The content is designed for Elementary up to middle school aged children, but the open ended inquiries can be taken as far as the child likes really. For the parents, they can let the kids help themselves (self-serve student mode) or they can assign the appropriate experiments based on what they are studying. The equipment is almost all around the home or very easy to get, no fancy lab stuff (though that is fun too).
Top three takeaways
- How Robert discovered that there are a lot of families who homeschool in Australia.
- You can tie so much more into a science experiment than just the science curriculum. That is often the real advantage.
- Using the fun experiments to open up a whole lot of other bits of learning.

At first it was part time with a few students in the beginning. But as time went on, his classes grew and he decided to step away from my 9-5 job to focus solely on teaching.

CEO and Founder Sarah Harmeling of the Homeschool Art Box understands art is challenging to fit into the homeschool schedule which is why Sarah has created easy “Open and Go” boxes. These boxes include Art History, Art Appreciation, and Art Creation all made simple for the teacher – it’s all in the box – no prep needed – just add the students and go!
3 Takeaways from Homeschool Art Box:
- There is a lot of flexibility and freedom in homeschooling, and you can choose how you want to pursue the subject – Embrace it!
- Art is a very right brained activity and our schooling is very left brained. Art allows are left brain to take a break while still processing everything we have learned. Unfortunately, art sometimes gets left in the dust because the focus on our core subjects takes center stage.
- There are numerous benefits in making art an integral part of your child's education program, such as critical thinking skills, decreases depression, reduces blood pressure, also helps them take abstract ideas and make them concrete.

Veldorah began working with Write from the Heart in 2006 and took over as director in 2011. She oversees the classes and enjoys creating new curriculum and tools for student writers. She speaks at homeschool and teacher conferences about writing and helping students find their voices
Top 3 Take-Aways!
- In a world that is trying to take away our voice, and indoctrinate their voice in the minds of the youth, the importance of teaching the youth to articulate themselves in this climate is vital.
- Writing is not just a technique but an art that empowers students to express their voice; giving them the ability to write about things they are passionate about to support their voice and their story.
- Being able to communicate is the goal, and being able to do that above the rules of writing is way more important. Once the student identifies what they value, and can express that then the rules come in as a way to bolster their voice to make it clearer and more passionate; the structure then helps to convince or be better understood.

Top 3 Gold Nuggets
- Stories are how we make sense of our world and connect our present world with our past.
- When teaching topics having an anchor from which we begin our lesson a type of hook that can engage our students allows us to then unpack the entire story and add other subjects to create a dynamic multidisciplinary unit, showing how everything is intertwined and not compartmentalized but holistic learning.
- Present and future success will require lots of self direction and self leading and the ability to reinvent yourself and adapt and this is a staple of the strength of homeschool students.

Runt the Braveand Runt the Hunted, the first two of his young adult novels, have received numerous awards, including the 2005 Ben Franklin Award for Best New Voice in Children’s Literature and the 2008 Eric Hoffer Award.

He is also editor of Crosswind Comics, which develops educational materials for youth-at-risk and prison inmates, among them the Amazing True Life Stories series as well as The Amazing Gospel graphic novel, which has been translated into several languages and distributed around the world.
Top 3 Take-Aways
1) Writing needs to create curiosity and provoke questions. We need to provoke questions and have the reader or listener ask the question rather than answer questions that no one is asking so answers don't fall on deaf ears. Which is why video games are so popular because it provokes questions are along the way.
2) Education is designed for what is easier for the teacher so the teacher can teach a large number of students.
3) We are wired for stories and we learn more deeply through story. Children's brains are wired for wonder (better than you expect), horror (but not terribly awful things, just things worse than they expect) and humor (because things are a little different than they expect.)

Linda has been tutoring children with learning differences for the past ten years using her phonemic awareness and phonics reading program.
Top 3 Gold Nuggets
-
When faced with tough situations, like learning your child has a learning difference such as dyslexia, it is time to learn all you can, take the opportunity and turn it into a passion that can change the lives of many.
-
Even if your child is in the public school system you can take time and teach them at home and give them a dual experience and build that connection with your child that will change their world forever.
-
What seems like the end, is the beginning of many serendipitous moments. Children all want to learn, and they will surprise us when we least expect it!

- How Tiffany has been able to get more performing opportunities for my homeschool students because often times they are available during the day when other students are in school.
- Homeschool families often have younger siblings watching and attending the lessons of older siblings. Once they finally get to start, they progress VERY quickly because their ears have already been listening to the music they are to learn. They are dedicated, they have time to practice, and they usually have one or more siblings who eventually take up lessons as well.

Karen wanted lots of hands-on crafts, games, and field trips. Michelle wanted printables, discussions, and historical maps. Karen wanted a complete idea and resource book organized by units so she could plan her whole year in advance down to the supplies. Michelle wanted something that was grab-and-go for the days and one day Mom said we should just write one. Karen looked at Michelle doubtfully. Michelle looked at Karen with trepidation. And then they said, “Yeah, we can totally do that.”

Intro
Britt and Shawn are the creators of NowWhat With Britt and Shawn. At the very start of the pandemic, they both were almost immediately laid off from their jobs--Shawn as a teacher and Britt as a curriculum developer for a national youth-serving organization. They quickly decided to hone their technical skills by learning video production and editing. At the same time, they noticed a huge surge in the amount of educational content for kids (as educators, they were paying close attention!), but they realized that so much of it probably wasn't helping kids achieving meaningful learning objectives. For example, they saw lots of craft and experiment tutorials, but not much instruction and information to ground the activities. They could see that this was a significant challenge for families who were homeschooling for the first time. They decided to try to fill that gap by providing quality educational content to families at a time when they needed it most.
Their Now What? videos, which focus mainly on art and science, include both a lesson as well as an activity was born! We've intentionally created videos on tornadoes, on snowflakes, they make snow globes, introduce the water cycle, on levers, and so much more!
Top three takeaways
- Kids who are homeschooled have a significant advantage--they get more time and attention, targeted lessons that are more likely to meet them where they are, lessons that are catered specifically towards their interests--all factors that can support better learning outcomes for kids.
- There are so many resources out there to support families who are homeschooling their kids!
- High-interest topics are engaging and motivating for learners, and you can always build lessons around these topics to capture kids' attention.

Top three takeaways
- How exactly parkour helps the child who struggles with focus or ADHD/ADD.

Aimee Deemter CEO and Founder of the Spanish Teacher LLC. Amy fell in-love with the language when she traveled to the Dominican Republic on a missions trip and then began her journey to learning Spanish. Her focus in teaching is to speak and read as much Spanish at a level her students can understand. She uses repetition through different stories in order to foster memorization. Aimee doesn't feel teaching grammar should be the main focus but rather it is learned through use of the language regularly.
Top three takeaways
- That the homeschool schedule can be very involved in field trips and other co-op classes not just academics.
- You can teach Spanish without giving grades to students because all students can learn a language and depending on their background with language, study habits, etc, we all learn at different rates.
- Teaching beginning Spanish to middle school and high school-age students with an acquisition-based approach through hearing, reading and speaking as much Spanish as possible is the key to success.

Michael Finnegan Creator and Founder of Quantum Camp used to be a public school science teacher. Michael super frustrated by the hurdles before him, to simply introduce compelling physical phenomena for his kids to wrangle with.
On top of the school board and principal were breathing down my neck telling me to teach science to the standardized tests. He just couldn't do it anymore. He couldn’t see himself delivering boring check-box based lists of dry content, to be memorized, to those beautiful young minds, in his classroom. Yet he knew of no better alternative. Which began the quest! He dove in head first in to the history of science and math in search of what the great, iconic scientists of history did, in their pursuit of learning and building new knowledge.
Top Three Takeaways
- How homeschooling is as vast and varied as every family that has chosen this path. There are as many reasons to homeschool as there are homeschoolers!
- How there is a school of thought that there are some that are in the know about homeschooling or that there is some 'real' reason to homeschool.
- That homeschooling is not schooling at home! And we dive into how QuantumCamp got its start.

Bryant Santana is the CEO and Creator of TheMovingTeacher.com. As an educator who was working abroad and in the US, he found that finding materials was just difficult. So Bryant practically single handedly began to create the site TheMovingTeacher.com site that has free to low-cost resources, so educators, guardians, students, and more are not breaking the bank or their nerves looking for materials on the internet. Bryant is slowly becoming a one stop shop for all things education. He prides himself on providing credible resources, that he vets daily. Bryant realizes that a lot of things exist but not are all legit. He also feels along with providing quality and credible resources that one of the most important things is the ability to tailor things how you want them to be and to have a purpose, so your child can have greater understanding.
Top Three Takeaways
- We tear apart the myth that homeschooling takes lots of money, and resources.
- How homeschooling provides more attention to an area and a child can learn a lot more in shorter periods of time.
- How and why Bryant has created a website that provides resources that are mostly free to low-cost.

Carissa Getscher is CEO and Founder of Sunflower Music lessons where she provides a plethora of music education resources like music history, appreciation, lesson helps, and actual music lessons.
At Sunflower Music lessons the belief is that any parent can teach music education. Carissa's lesson plans are supplements to curriculum parents are already using, how you ask? Maybe you are studying the Civil War or the Industrial Revolution in Europe. You can put a soundtrack to the history you are learning and BAM now it's music history.
Check out their Harriet Tubman resources, or the composers of Europe as supplemental resources. You can also use Sunflower Music, music appreciation worksheets to analyze music from any era, download a simplified piece of sheet music so your young musician can play a page of Beethoven. and so many more resources for your naturally curious child!
Top Three Takeaways
- The myth as to "Why most people homeschool?" It used to be common for people to think it was for religious reasons and now people might think homeschooling is a political choice. But most parents who pull their kids now have reasons like bullying or accommodations
- There is definitely a status division between those who can put their kids in lessons and those who can't...but I believe in this information age, parents can teach anything a kid wants to learn.
- Homeschooling is so important to her that as a single working mom she's dedicated to finding a way to provide for my three sons without having to put them in public school. She loves watching her boys as they grow into the best versions of themselves and how they know their value. Homeschooling allows her the opportunity to be there daily speaking love into them as they bloom into men.
Carissa knows that a good home is the key to that dream- so she will work and sacrifice to make sure that it goes from dream to reality, Carissa has a powerful story of loss in one area and gain in another and then the birth of sunflower music

Intro
Former math Teacher Dr. Stanley Schmidt speaks to us about the Life of Fred which is a series of math books for students in early elementary through college.
The Life of Fred Covers everything from basic numeracy to complex analysis. What is great about the Life of Fred is that is takes a literature-based approach to teaching math.
The Life of Fred series consists of humor-filled illustrated books that use an engaging story-driven instructive approach, rather than the traditional textbook.
The Life of Fred is a wide-ranging math series, not only compared to programs that use a narrative or literature-based approach, but compared to most homeschool math programs in general.
Life of Fred is most well known for its elementary series, intended for grades 1-4.
This Life of Fred series comprises of10 books and has a relatively unconventional naming structure that represents levels A-J in a somewhat more amusing manner.
Despite its unusual approach of teaching math through a story, Life of Fred is a complete math curriculum.
Number of Lessons: 24 Chapters. It is not broken up into daily lessons.

Intro
Keicha Barnum CEO and Founder of BRC Tech Education but to her students she's Mrs. B. She has used her degree, certifications in technology and design, and experience in both the corporate world and as an entrepreneur to design a more impactful framework for STEAM education that teaches students to learn by “doing”. For more than 10 years I have partnered with talented instructors, created innovative hands-on curriculum and brought the coolest technology to students who have never used a 3D printer, coded a drone, or even dreamed of creating a 3D animation. The result – a blueprint for a uniquely geeky educational community equipped to inspire the next generation of STEAM professionals.
Top three takeaways
- Homeschooling should be relevant and look more like the world our kiddos will be living/working in one day.
- Homeschooling is not one size fits all. Every student has different needs, every family has different resources, and all schooling is not done at home.
- There is virtually no such thing as age appropriate education just levels (as long as the material is wholesome). You can teach your child what you know in the industry you work in, they will be able to understand.

CAP Kids was designed specifically to develop foundational skills of language, mathematics and life skills. Back to basics. Building a strong foundation in these areas assists success in many other areas.
Top three takeaways
- Homeschooling doesn't have to be expensive! Private schools have tricked us into believing that the more money you throw at educating your child, the better they will be educated and prepared for life. The truth is that learning happens everywhere
- A parent is a child's first teacher - a child learns how to talk, walk and love from a parent. Moral values, beliefs and so much more are taught to children as soon as they are born.
- Homeschooling is simply an extension of parenting.

Jennifer White began working with Inspired Virtual just after the pandemic. The online platform was created when the in-person microschool was forced to go online. The model transferred into an effective online community and the platform expanded to offer classes to a wider audience. In addition to her work with Inspired Virtual she and her husband host a website called Should I Homeschool, as another way to encourage parents who are undecided to take the next steps and try homeschool for one year. Aside from teaching her own children and teaching for Inspired Virtual, she speaks at homeschooling events and encourages parents who are just starting to think about homeschooling to commit to trying it for just one year. That's her passion, encouraging parent to just go for it!
Top three takeaways
- Being a credentialed teacher is more of a hinderance than a benefit when teaching homeschool, lots of unlearning to do. Homeschooling despite the name is done more outside the home than in doors!
- When you homeschool you can meet the child where they are by either challenging them or remediating for them.
- Homeschooling allows for a connection between parent and child or teacher and child that you don't normally get in a brick-and-mortar school situation.

Afsaneh Moradian M.Ed is Founder of MLC Homeschool Coaching. Afsaneh is a children’s author with over 20 years of experience as an educator, she has worked with hundreds of learners from preschool to graduate school, including students that are wired differently. Afsaneh developed a proven framework to support you in creating the right homeschooling experience for your unique child. Now as a homeschooling she intimately understands the pressure and want to assure you it doesn’t have to be that way.
She wants you to feel empowered to create a homeschooling experience filled with connection and a joy of learning for you and your child.
Top three takeaways
- Many believe that homeschooling is school at home. They think that buying a curriculum is all that’s needed to teach their child. Then they are unpleasantly surprised when their child resists.
- Each child develops and learns at their own rate and in their own way. Homeschooling has to be tailored to the individual child because development can’t be rushed and what works for one child may not work for yours.
- Once parents learn how to respond to their children without power struggles and learn how to create meaningful learning experiences, all children, but especially neurodiverse and high needs kids, can feel safe, supported, and able to thrive.

Ann Troast is the CEO and Founder of Without Doors a unique Charlotte Mason curriculum inspired by the successful lessons at Four Square Community. Using Without Doors has revitalized their homeschool and she hopes it does the same for yours. Ann is passionate about sparking JOY in home education, one family at a time.
She began her education career teaching in an elementary classroom for several years, and has spent well over a decade becoming a veteran homeschool mom.
In 2016, she founded Four Square Community – a Charlotte Mason-inspired homeschool co-op that has grown to over 500 local students. Four Square offers academic and enrichment classes for students in preschool through high school.
Beginning in 2019, her husband Matt joined her in leading and serving the growing Four Square Community. Matt brings twenty years of traditional classroom experience ranging from preschool through university. Together they authored The Book of Centuries: A Personal Timeline of History.
In 2022, I created Without Doors, I am grateful for God’s goodness and faithfulness and give Him all the glory! \
Top three takeaways
- Homeschooling does not need to look like a traditional classroom and does not operate on the same schedule as a traditional classroom. When we reduce the teacher/student ratio to the size of a family, we gain freedom and opportunity.
- In Homeschooling the lessons are efficient and effective, lessons are targeted to student learning style/interests, different tools are available for comprehension - such as having students narrate instead of filling out worksheets.
- The focus of Without Doors is to provide a simplified, family-style, Charlotte Mason curriculum for students in 1st-8th grade. The content in the Bible, History, Geography, Literature, Enrichment, and Nature Study lessons are coordinated around a time and place such as Early America or Ancient World, creating a rich, immersive experience and a harmony of lessons.

Gwen Potter is the Creator of Butterfly Ballet Club. She loves teaching ballet to children! For the past 30 years, she has shared the joy of ballet with her students. Gwen has been able to help several thousand young dancers grow in confidence and creativity through their experience of dancing in story ballet performances and she can’t wait to bring the same joy to your family at home.
Top three takeaways
- Academic work won't take the full day. Don't feel guilty if it doesn't. Working with your children one-on-one is a very efficient way for them to accomplish their work.
- Prepare yourself for February. It is the most difficult month for homeschooling. Plan some fun activities for February and don't make any major homeschool decisions during this month.
- The beauty of the ballet box is that it is very adaptable. It works with three year old and with ten year old. It has been tested and it is a great supplement to dance lessons for young dancers who want to learn more about ballet and it is a comfortable option for would-be dancers who find it overstimulating to be in the dance studio - the music & fellow students can certainly be overstimulating.

Christy (AKA “Mrs. Crabtree”) is the CEO and Founder of the Happy Hive Homeschooling she is a former classroom teacher and homeschool mom living in California with her husband, 3 “almost grown” children she calls her bugs and Captain Jack, Princess Stripes, Penny, and Percy. She also feeds a variety of backyard friends.
She didn’t send her 3 “bugs” to school because she knew no one would be a better teacher than she is. (Christy tends to be a bit over the top) She was also terrified, quite frankly.
Christy designed happy Hive Homeschooling to make your homeschool years the best they can be. Happy Hive provides courses, coaching, and a unique holiday of the day curriculum designed for any homeschool method. It is their goal to help you recognize the importance of your homeschool mindset in the overall educational experience of your children.
Happy Hive (then known as the Gandara Bug Academy) used an off-the-cuff curriculum vs. textbooks. The best “curriculum” the Happy Hive Homeschool ever used was the year we based everything we did on the “Holiday of the Day”. It was an amazing year full of learning and memories.
This is the sweet spot they want to help you incorporate the holiday of the day into your homeschool, so you too can explore the deeds and adventures of heroic & legendary figures as well as important events throughout history.
Top three takeaways
- Celebration brings Memories. What better way to spend your children's learning years creating life long memories.
- Learning about holidays brings many educational moments in history.
- Celebrations connect us all to each other.

Intro
Rebecca Devitt CEO and Founder of How do I homeschool. Bec found so much success with homeschooling, that she became interested in promoting home education to others as a better way to educate children. Her journey down this blogging road started in 2013 when I wrote a 16,000-word dissertation on homeschooling for one of her friends who is now homeschooling! She then published Why on Earth Homeschool in 2017. After this, she launched the howdoihomeschool.com website in 2018 and shortly after launched the YouTube Channel called How Do I Homeschool.
Over the years, she has spent a tremendous amount of time studying classical, Charlotte Mason, and other educational methods and has thrown herself into analyzing curriculum options to present her readers with great options that suit their worldview and chosen educational methods.
Rebecca loves supporting new homeschooling parents her prayer is that these efforts will one day be acknowledged before God when he says, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant.’
Top three takeaways
- You won't be always teaching children. They learn how to learn at home, so end up homeschooling themselves in the later years.
- Homeschooling can be fun and joyful, but sometimes we don't know how to get it there. Rebecca's course aims to fill that gap so parents don't have to spend years making mistakes.
- Homeschooling takes time and love to do well. If you have plenty of that, it's hard to go wrong.

Samantha has a Master of Education degree and diverse educational background that includes over 12 years of experience working in private, public, charter, magnet, IB, virtual, British, and international schools.
Samantha is also the founder and lead teacher/tutor of her one-woman-owned small business Learnimize! Learnimize, an online educational platform that was created to support children and families across the US and the world. Learnimize's mission is to build confidence through 100% customized lessons designed to meet each individual child's needs, interests, levels, and goals. Learnimize specializes in offering live private, individualized lessons in ANY K-6 subject or topic. Learnimize also offers small group classes, clubs, and workshops such as Creative Writing, Future Entrepreneurs, Book Club, Curious Kids Science Club, Geography Club, and more. Looking for support that's not listed here? Just ask, Learnimize will customize and create it just for you.
Top three takeaways
- Many people assume the child did not fit into the school when they are pulled out, but really in most cases it's the contrary! People don't often stop to think about how the school/teacher/curriculum/etc didn't fit the child. Every child is different and it's impossible that any school will match the learning style and needs of every student that attends. Homeschooling provides a unique opportunity to provide a child-specific learning environment.
- There are so many resources that exist out there and can support parents in homeschooling. Even in Samanthas 12 year classroom teaching career, she was only able access about 5% of the amazing online tools out there, even while actively searching.
- No matter which subject or topic, every child builds critical thinking skills and confidence at learnimize.

Samantha offers a free 15 minute consultation for parents. This can also be used to students to meet her and have a short "demo."

Intro
CEO of Classical Conversations is a job that Robert Bortins was born to do…literally. Leigh Bortins dissatisfied with the education options she found as a new mom, decided first to homeschool her four sons, and then decided to develop her own curriculum, and Robert, her oldest son, was her first pupil.
Robert has a B.S. degree in Industrial Engineering from Clemson University in 2006. After graduating, he worked as a management trainee for UPS and as a plant engineer for Easy Gardener, a Jobes company. In 2011 he returned to the family business, Classical Conversations, Inc., to develop a marketing program. He was then appointed CEO of the family-owned company in 2012. In the years since Robert Bortins became CEO of Classical Conversations, the company has grown by 300 percent and has become the world’s largest classical homeschooling organization.
Robert is a member of the board of directors of Homeschool Now USA, the Carolinas Rugby Union and the Clemson University Rugby Foundation Board. He is also a member of C12 Group, the largest professional development network of Christian CEOs and executives. Under Robert’s leadership, Classical Conversations has been named a Certified Best Christian Workplace by BCWI for four years in a row.
Very Powerful, Convicting and Thought Provoking Takeaways
- You do not need to be a trained educator to teach your children; sometimes being trained is a hinderance since homeschooling is not schooling at home but a way of life, and unlearning those habits can be hard.
- When parents say they cannot be around their children all day is a sign of a deeper that parents do not want to address. Not wanting to be around your kid also means you did not raise them in way that you would want to be around them.
- Education is to prepare you to engage in life and with those around you.
- Homeschooling allows your teenager to mature in the areas that are important and will benefit them and their future society.

This part of teaching is the simplest but the most effective part of the lesson. Here is where you answer that nagging question all of you parents have ruminating in the back of your mind "how do I know if they learned?" Our objective today is to help you be able to assess your student's understanding and concept acquisition daily using different closure techniques that will help you gauge where they are at in an instant.
Today you will learn how to
- Check for understanding.
- Create the opportunities for your child to draw conclusions from the lesson and for your more quiet thinkers to have the opportunity to articulate their ideas and thoughts.
- Foster more reflective thinking
- Reflect on your own teaching and lessons and not beat yourself up!
Exit Tickets
Are a formative assessment tool to provide the educator with an informal measure of how their students are doing. Students are also able to reflect, think critically, and express their thoughts on what they have just learned.
Reflection
This gives students the time to process what they have learned and the time to think about what they have been thinking about. This also helps the teacher know if the students has a clear picture of the what was learned.
Formative assessments some examples are:
- Ask them to write one thing that stuck with them from the lesson.
- Ask them to verbally answer one question about the day's lesson before they can leave the class.
- Have them create a tweet.
- Have them create a flipgrid.
Reflections can be either a formative or summative assessment tool
Examples are
- Journals
- Have them give a classmate an affirmation of the work they did that day.
- Asking questions like this one:
- Any ideas as to why we didn't get very far in today's lesson?
Think of some exit ticket that you could use in your lesson closure?
- Think creatively
- Exit tickets are short.
- Exit tickets can be daily and are informal.

Penny Mayes is a professional art teacher, a professional educator, and a veteran home-school mom of 20 years. Her passion is integrating hands-on art projects with art history and history unit studies. She is also a wife and the mother of three adult children. She holds a master’s in education and makes her home in North Carolina. Her story from homeschool mom to curriculum developer will not only inspire you but challenge you to take the leap!
Top three takeaways
- Focusing on connecting history with art history and hands-on art projects is a way to put a "face" on a historical era. By giving families the art, the visuals, and the hands-on, helps expand the child's memory.
- When children are given visuals to connect with what they are learning they create something educators call "brain movies." These are the pictures we make in our minds when we read. The more experiences and visuals a child has the more understanding.
- Hands-on learning can specifically help build the brain, can help with focus, can help with memory, can help with reading comprehension, can help with reluctant learners, and can help with independent learning.

Intro
Merry Marinello gives a stellar interview and description of the Founder of All about Learning Press Marie Rippel, who had a child with severe dyslexia. They were told he would never read or write. She researched, figured out how to teach her son and also tutored kids for 20 years. She doesn’t want anyone to have to go through what they did. Merry also talks about the powerful results that this program has accomplished and Merry has a great personal testimony as well!
Top three takeaways
- Many people think it needs to look like “school at home” and don’t realize how much freedom there is to teach to your child’s needs and interests, and to work at your child’s pace rather than trying to follow “grade levels.”
- All About Reading often succeeds where other programs fail. An example was a woman named Raquel had a daughter Katie who was struggling with learning to read. Her local school that was specifically created for children with dyslexia thought Katie's situation was hopeless and wouldn’t admit her because they didn’t think they could help her! Raquel was determined to help her and believed she was creative and capable. She found All About Reading and All About Spelling and her daughter was successful!
- The founder, Marie Rippel, have a child with severe dyslexia (he is grown now). Marie and her husband were told he would never read or write. Marie researched, figured out how to teach her son and also tutored kids for 20 years after. She created All About Reading Press because Marie to this day doesn’t want anyone to have to go through what they did!

She is also an actor and producer and is known for Miracle in East Texas (2019), Andromeda (2000) and Hercules: The Legendary Journeys (1995). She has been married to Kevin Sorbo since January 5, 1998 and they have three beautiful children.
Top takeaways
- One foundational lesson we learn in the traditional school system is how incapable we are. One paradigm no child left behind was to support a child's learning but it has become the means by which we push children through a system unprepared for each following level which results in a child misunderstanding their own abilities.
- Homeschooling is not about the 3R's Reading, Writing and Arithmetic (which by the way are not three r's). The beauty of homeschooling is that it is a joint project between parent and child, it is not just the parent as teacher or all about the student but a powerful collaboration which completely obliterates the paradigm the traditional education system puts out of they are the supreme authority.
- Parents you are raising an adult, and there has been a theft of your children and we have given them over to a system that is exploiting the fact that children are easily influenced by what they see and hear because they are just starting to form an identity in relation to what is around them, and the government and schools understand that and will shame you from becoming that influence so that they can step in and further make you feel incapable.

Intro: This episode we will be focusing on what learning objectives are and how we measure them?
3 Topics of Todays Discussion
1) What are Learning Objectives?
Objectives are very specific, they state clear actions that the student must take to be successful.
2) Why use Learning Objectives?
To gauge and to assess what your student(s) know by the end of the period/week/month/semester and if you all are going to achieve said goals.
3) How are goals different than objectives?
Goals are the overarching aim that is not measurable without specific clear actions repeated (your learning objectives).

Author of More Before Five in Row, Carrie Lambert Bozeman is the daughter of Author Jane Claire Lambert of Five in a Row, and sister of Author Becky Jane Lambert of Beyond Five in a Row, and a granddaughter of a former teacher who taught first grade for more than 30 years, and with a great-grandmother who owned a private preschool, perhaps it was inevitable that Carrie Lambert Bozeman would end up as an educator too.
Carrie was homeschooled K-11 before attending college, and she began homeschooling her own children in 2012. She has been a part of Five in a Row since it began in 1995 and has helped write single unit studies for Five in a Row in recent years. These experiences have provided a foundation that is evident in the lessons and heart of More Before Five in a Row.
Top three takeaways
- Homeschooling is not school at home it is an extension of home. It can look like snuggling up with a book on the couch, spending time in the park at a picnic, and being part of our child's learning experience.
- You do not have to homeschool all subjects you can choose which subjects you want to teach and find other providers to cover the other subjects.
- Homeschooling allows you and your child to focus on their interests and hone in their strengths!

Krista Thomas - Academic Coach & Publicist
TAN Academy is a curricula provider of Catholic homeschool materials covering all subjects including faith, science, history, and literature. Now in our second year, enrolled families receive lesson plans, unlimited coaching, deep discounts on TAN Academy products, and report cards at the end of the year. Our philosophy is to provide the best blend of a classical education with traditional methodologies -- parents are in the driver's seat in implementation options. One of the best options is to combine all children in the same subject using the same content. To do this saves time and money. And that's why we are a fast-growing option for many families!
Top three takeaways
- Homeschool is about your lifestyle and you want to look at the end game of what you want for your kids, and this type of education should not look like the institution of MS or HS down the street.
- In Homeschool we may make mistakes but that is fine! Especially in Homeschool there are always ways to find the lesson and the learning that can be highlighted from the experience.
- Go rogue or go home means that we do not all need to go into college, it may be more beneficial to fund your child's business endeavor of 25,000 rather than 100,000 for a degree they will never use.

Janna Koch is the Community Manager. Janna used BookShark curriculum with her three daughters for several years, and she eventually joined the team as a convention representative, helping homeschoolers choose the right programs for their families at in-person events. Now she assists homeschoolers across the world in her new role as a community manager and host of the BookShark-sponsored podcast, Homeschool Your Way. She loves it when a parent, unsure of their ability to homeschool their child, discovers they are more than capable with the right curriculum!
Top three takeaways
- Homeschool students surpass their public school peers because homeschooling teaches them to love to learn.
- With the book shark curriculum you are not pigeon holing your child to fit into an age group but rather a reading level that is not age specific because children learn at different rates. Which lessens comparison amongst peers.
- There is no right or wrong way or right or wrong time to homeschool, you are able to tailor this curriculum to your lifestyle.

Why starting with the end in mind will be so helpful.
Top reasons
- Beginning with the end in mind maximizes the potential of you achieving the desired goal.
- You are starting with a clear understanding of the destination.
- You will also avoid doing things just for the sake of doing them, you can and will be more intentional with your time and resources if you have the end in mind.
- You can think about actions and potential outcomes before they happen and how you will react.
- You are always prepared
- You can determine if an assignment or topic is worth pursuing because you know your final destination.
Example: If you are looking to lose weight you know planning you meals in advance is very important otherwise you will be scurrying for food and it probably won't be good.
Find out any laws in your state as to what is required for your state.
Once you know that start mapping it out starting with end in mind.
I want you to take your paper and jot down
- What are the subjects you want to teach 3 or 4 tops and sure one is an elective like art, music, dance, something in that vein. Right brain Left brain.
- What about those subjects excites you?
- What about those subjects excites your kids?
Preliminary Research Questions
- Take time to find out the cool things in the subject, like subcategories within the subject, maybe some specific niche things.
- What have other people done?
- What are your kids strengths?
- What are they really good at?
Things you need to think about:
- Are you looking to educate for mastery in this area or a basic understanding?
- As you figure out the subjects look ahead what are the goals for each subject?
- What books or literature are you going to read
- What videos are you going to use?
- What projects are you going to do?
- How are you going to use the Socratic Method to foster critical thinking skills?
- Are you wanting to teach thematic? Spiral?
- Are you wanting to use Montessori style, Charlotte Mason, PBL, inquiry based learning or a little bit of everything?
- Will you be outdoors? Play-based?
- Are you going to write a mission and vision statement for the family?
- Are you going to teach all the subjects or are you going to do some and partner with others?
My resources that I am deriving information from
- Using Habits of highly effective people has been a great resource.

Intro
Author Lynn Dean wrote Discover Texas Online because she hated history! She remembers only how bored she was and nothing else! Her husband loved History and felt terrible that she hated it so much and one day asked her a question that would change her perspective forever! Was there nothing that you liked about History? Then she remembered one teacher bringing in a coffee washed stained sheet and the hand painting she did in 3rd grade! That's when she realized learning history can be fun if you could experience it; and so Discovertexasonline.com is born!
Top three takeaways
- Learning should be specific and personal.
- When learning history or any subject you can make it multicurricular by finding the different subject tucked in History.
- That during the Spanish Inquisition there was a surname that came into existence in the US and only exists in the US and it is the surname Hidalgo; which is a mash up of three words Hijo de algo; and this came to be because during the inquisition Spain was stripping people of everything they had and those who wanted to leave a legacy came over the US so they could have land etc. Since last names usually came from where you lived or some type of inheritance when they came to the US Hijo de algo means son of something thus we got Hidalgo!

The Homeschool Advantage Podcast
Intro
Lynn Dean series she is the Author of The Homeschool Parents’ How-To Series–four online courses packed with tips for how to teach to a child’s strengths, how to merge lessons with life, how to encourage creativity, and how to raise a hero. Her books "How to Teach the Way Your Child Learns" helps us understand that if the doorways of understanding aren’t opening, maybe we need to try a different key. She highlights how temperament type, learning styles, and natural gifts affect the ways your child learns and how YOU can use this key understanding to unlock your child’s potential.
She also has How to Make Learning Meaningful, Memorable, and Fun
Highlighting that we remember only 10- 20% of what we read in books or hear in lectures, but when learning is ACTIVE, retention jumps to 70- 90%! Also How to Encourage Creativity in Your Child, here she talks about the six levels of higher learning which most schools teach only three. Lastly How to Raise a Hero God is the Master Storyteller He is crafting every chapter of HIStory to reveal His ultimate message.
Top three takeaways
- That we would help our children solidify their core values and beliefs so that when we make choices, and sometimes choices are made on a whim they would have a solid foundation and make good choices based on their morals and values on a whim.
- Sometimes we are struggling to do something as simple as open a door; but if we are using a car key to open our front door it isn't going to work. The key is bad and the door is bad it is just the key being used isn't created for what your trying to open!
- Children have their own way of learning and most of the time textbooks do not work!! Understanding how your child learns and finding what they are good at what fires them up that we can begin at a much younger age to help them think about what they were put on this earth to do!

Intro
After using IEW’s curriculum, Diana decided to become an Accredited Instructor at the Certified Level with the company. She believes IEW is the “gold standard” of Language Arts curriculum and encourages parents to use both Fix-it Grammar and IEW’s level appropriate Theme-based writing (her personal favorite), or their Style and Structure for Students. Parents who want to outsource this subject, should look to IEW’s website for their online classes or an accredited instructor on their website.
Top three takeaways
- IEW methodology helps students of all learning styles especially those with what would be considered tougher learning challenges.
- IEW is a great support to families who are newer to homeschooling bringing the training necessary to know when your child has learned the material by teaching the parent first!
- IEW's style of language arts offers the learners a real world use of the subject versus a theoretical and abstract framework.

Intro
Andrew Pudewa director and speaker of IEW Institute of Excellence in Writing is passionate about teaching and equipping parents to instruct their children's education. What makes IEW stand out from other language arts programs is the focus on teaching the parent or homeschool teacher to know the material. This not only brings confidence to the parents but the child by fostering strong writing and communication skills. IEW has a long legacy from 1930's to current day that maintains a gold standard of excellence for all learning styles, challenges and differences!
Top three takeaways
- Teaching creative writing without basics and fundamentals is like giving a child a musical instrument and telling them these are the different notes on this instrument keep playing for the next 10 years and let's see what comes of it, which is our current system of literary writing.
- Homeschooling is so much more accessible than in the past, because of the onset of co-ops, micro-schools, Facebook groups and the variety of educational material that offer new families joining the homeschool community an solid association; of similar beliefs and values.
- Academia is the least important thing in our growth and development as children it is at best 2nd. We need to do a lot of things together with our family and friends and build those relationships. At the end of our life we will not be taking with us all of the accolades and knowledge we have obtained in academia but the connections, relationships and memories we built within the years of our life.

Intro
Mandi was born in South Africa and later moved to Zimbabwe in 1996. After moving to America in 2013, she had to adjust to a new life, new community, new culture and new experiences. It has not been an easy journey.
As a certified academic life coach, veteran home educator, speaker, career coach, and ACC ICF coach,she helps teens and young adults take action to live a life of purpose. Mandi feels coaching improves motivation, time management, organization, emotional regulation, relationships, mindsets, and helps students with anxiety, life transitions, careers or vocation.
Mandi also coaches parents with her "The Coach Parent Mindset," which supports parents in "The Coach Approach" to parenting and home education. This approach transforms relationships as parents help their adolescents take more ownership and responsibility
Top three takeaways
- What social emotional learning really is, it is a heart transformation in Christ so that children, teens and young adults DO NOT allow their emotions to control and dictate what they do; and they have the tools to understand what is happening to them emotionally and be able to correct their actions.
- Helping kids understand that they may not always feel like doing things and to overcome this and understanding the consequences of not being responsible.
- Teaching a child to take personal responsibility for their actions guiding them in a Socratic manner of questions rather than the boss manager approach most parents and those in authority use.
