July 21st (Tuesday) and July 28th (Tuesday) - Where do I begin?
A workshop for new and prospective homeschoolers, Nancy
Bjorkman
Considering homeschooling? Not sure where to begin? This workshop will
help define several different learning and teaching styles found in
homeschooling families. We will then explore resources and curriculum to
fit your family's particular style. We'll cover some common roadblocks and
misconceptions about "what school should look like" and also
discuss many of the stages that homeschool families experience as they
walk through the years. There will be a time for interaction and
questions.

August 18th (Tuesday) - Ten Deadly Myths
About Homeschooling Math, Steve Clark
Most homeschoolers feel uneasy when planning math courses for their
children. We learned our math a long time ago, or we learned it a
different way, or maybe we learned it not at all! How can we know if
the methods we are using will achieve the desired results in our
children? In this seminar, Steve exposes ten deadly myths about
teaching math, and counters those myths with solid, practical help for
parents. You will also leave with a checklist that you can use to
determine the best math course for your students. Don't be surprised
if Steve challenges some of our normal ways of thinking about math.
For example, you might just find out that "Practice Makes Perfect!"
doesn't apply to math!
