Starting the homeschool journey can be an overwhelming and intimidating process. How do you decide which curriculum to use? How should your home be set up for learning? What does the law require of homeschoolers? Is there a right way to homeschool? This session is designed to address beginning topics like state homeschool laws, how to choose curriculum, understanding your children’s learning styles, finding support for you and your homeschool, and making learning a lifestyle. It’s my hope that you’ll leave this session feeling equipped and confident for the school year ahead.

Listening and reading well, speaking and writing clearly, and thinking and debating effectively are abilities that most parents hope to cultivate in their children. With that goal in mind, Andrew Pudewa explores various environments and activities that accelerate the development of these language skills, beginning with the youngest students and continuing into the high school years.

How to choose wisely among the seeming thousands of homeschool curriculum options available today? Can it work to have students of different ages use the same study materials? What other options are there for managing students at different levels? Let this workshop save you hours of research through a guided tour of popular teaching methods, learning styles, and resources for evaluating curriculums. We won’t tell you what to use, but we will help you make choices that fit your individual students – and probably save you some money along the way.
