Hickory, NC. Here is a list of the session titles. Anna Brown is

2007 Sessions:
Homeschooling and the Large Family
Tami Fox is a homeschool mom to six children who range in age from 16
years to infant. She has been homeschooling since 2000. And she will
share her tips with you in this session on how to manage homeschooling
and a large family. She will also share creative ways to instill a
love of life-long learning while managing those little things in life
that seem to creep up in your schedule.
A Look at Unit Studies
Tami Fox will share with you how unit studies work in her homeschool.
She will show you how you can instill a love of learning that will
last a lifetime with simple tips and techniques. She is currently
using unit studies to teach her six children who range in age from 16
year to infant.
The "How" of Home Schooling thru High School
Home schooling through high school is: Impossible? No. Challenging?
Yes. Rewarding? Most definitely! Are you afraid or apprehensive about
beginning or continuing to home school during your child's high school
years? This seminar will address some of the concerns as to what to
study, how to determine credits, making a transcript of your child's
work and preparing for college. Having had one child graduate from her
home school and another one ready to leave soon, Bobbi Gillette plans
to share the lessons she has learned in this process of home schooling
high school aged children. Samples of transcripts, evaluation forms
and course of study suggestions will be included in this presentation.
Hopefully by the end of this seminar you will be encouraged and
motivated to home school your child during his/her high school career.
A time of questions and answers will be included in the overflow
session. Bobbi is a homeschooling mom of 20 years to four children.
From School to Unschool-The Liberation of Unschooling
Teresa Blalock will share the experiences of her family and three of
her four children whom she removed from school to bring them home to
unschooling. All different ages and at different stages in life, she
will share the joys and stumbling blocks their family encountered as
they started on their unschooling journey.
Understanding the Right-Brained Child
Is your child a "late" reader? Does your child not remember their math
facts no matter how many times you go over them? Does your child hate
to write, or their handwriting is barely legible? Your child may be
right-brained and/or a visual-spatial learner. Cindy Gaddis will
discuss characteristics of this learning style and help parents
discover their child's path to learning with joy. Come celebrate the
gifts of the right-brained learner while understanding why certain
subjects may develop "later". Cindy will specifically cover reading,
math facts, writing, handwriting, and more! Cindy is the mother of
seven children, ages 6-20.
Educate Yourself First
Before you take on the task of educating your children, you must first
educate yourself about education. Get started with this seminar,
presented by Misty Spinelli, which will explain the different
educational philosophies, including: classical, unit studies,
traditional, Charlotte Mason, and more. Learn the importance of
setting goals, and discovering your child's learning style.
Portals to Knowledge (or How chocolate leads to everything in the
whole-wide-world)
Do you worry about how learning happens outside of school? Do you
wonder what natural learning looks like?
One topic leads to all kinds of learning adventures. If you or your
child's interests seem slightly obscure or bizarre, have no fear. Any
and all interests have the ability to help us learn about many, many
topics. See the connections all around you and find out where the
topic of chocolate can lead (you might be surprised). A delicious
journey that has touched on everything from environmentalism to
culture, history, cooking and beyond! Choose your portal, it all leads
to everything! Ren Allen radically unschools with her four children
and works full time. Her passion is in tapping the creative genius in
all of us.
Concurrent Enrollment
May Khang from Catawba Valley Community College, will be talking about
the purpose and objectives of Concurrent Enrollment for homeschool
students. Along with discussing eligibility of students, costs of
concurrent enrollment, course eligibility, and enrollment procedures.
She will also be glad to answer any questions you may have about the
process.
4-H: A Family Affair
Learn about the wonderful world of 4-H with Susie Devine. You will
gain an overview of 4-H, learn how to get involved with a club or
organize a club in your area, and how the 4-H experience can enhance
your home school experience and prepare your child for the future.
Meet a panel of outstanding 4-H teens and learn about what they do in
4-H and how they feel they have benefited from 4-H. 4-H is a community
based volunteer-led youth development program for children ages 5-19
offered in each county through Cooperative Extension. Susie has been a
4-H club leader for 9 years and under her leadership the club has more
than tripled in size. She has homeschooled her 3 boys that now range
in age from 13 18.
Learning and Earning from Home
Karen Davis has homeschooled in 6 different states. With one
homeschool graduate, and three more children at home, ages 16, 10
and 6, she will be combining schooling and working at home for at
least another decade. Karen grew up in an entrepreneurial family and
has always enjoyed having a little side business. She talks about
choosing a business that will work for you, fitting it into your busy
life and offers resources for making it all work together.
How to Claim a Medical or Religious Exemption to Vaccinations
Lisa Jillani is the founder and director of PAVE (People Advocating
Vaccine Education). North Carolina law allows a person to claim a
medical or religious exemption to vaccination for school or daycare.
She will present information on how to go about claiming your lawful
exemption.
Parenting for the Joy of It! ~ discussing the art of creating
solutions and living joyfully
Come and join us as we discuss problem solving so that everyone's
needs are addressed through examining assumptions, reactions, cultural
expectations and classic conflict issues. We will turn these
challenges upside down, sideways and overcome the obstacles to
peaceful living. Discover some new tools and approaches for working
together with others, including children, so that everyone is
satisfied with the outcome! Anna Brown fields questions about creative
problem solving from a Consensual Living perspective.
"Love To Learn" is an inclusive homeschooling conference. Registration
is only $30 per family for this one day event.
http://www.lovetolearnconference.com/index.htm Along with the main
sessions we will have break out sessions and also a toddler area as
well as a craft/game room. So bring the family, bring a sitter, and
come join us.
Please feel free to copy and repost to any groups who might be
interested in participating.
