TEACH YOUR OWN: AN UNSCHOOLING SEMINAR
For Beginners and Elementary School-age Homeschoolers (3 hours long).
Explore John Holt’s ideas about unschooling and how they are used everyday by families. Using your questions and feedback, each seminar is uniquely tailored to the needs of the audience. Among the topics covered:
• How do I recognize the learning children do that doesn't look at all like school learning?
• What if my spouse doesn't support our homeschooling efforts?
• How can I work with different learning styles and multiple intelligences?
• How do I develop and write an individualized curriculum? Do I even have to?
• How can I describe unconventional learning to school officials and relatives?
• Can I use private schools, correspondence schools, public and private businesses, and Internet support for unschooling young children?
For Advanced or Older Homeschoolers (3 hours long):
Learn how you, and other adults, can mentor your child towards college or adult work without passage through conventional high school. Topics covered include:
• Can you really live and learn peaceably with teenage homeschoolers?
• What are Carnegie units and high school transcripts? Can I use them to document my homeschooling experiences?
• How do homeschoolers gain college admissions?
• Can you find work worth doing without a college degree?
• Why should I document my work and creating a valid transcript?
• What are distance learning, correspondence, and Internet programsfor teens?
• What's the proof that unschooling and homeschooling create good citizens and college graduates as well as public schools?
