Homeschooling 101
The most profound part of homeschooling is the handcrafted journey that happens when an education is tailored for the individual. Doesn’t that sound like something worth providing for your child? But… How do you do it? How do you provide something that honors your learner and provides the important academic skills and knowledge they need?
In this practical Homeschooling 101 workshop, Blair Lee will cover the basics of crafting a personalized education that ignites your child’s learning and empowers YOU. She will guide you through curriculum navigation, insights into who your child is as a learner, and essential startup tips to help you develop a clear roadmap for creating a thriving homeschool journey for your unique child. She will give you practical advice about what you REALLY need to get started.

Cognitive Load: One of the Most Important Things to Consider When Homeschooling
In this session, we’ll dive into an essential concept that can significantly enhance your homeschooling experience—cognitive load. Managing cognitive load is vital for optimizing your child’s learning, engagement, and long-term success. This talk will unpack the different types of cognitive load and offer practical strategies for minimizing unnecessary mental effort while fostering deep understanding. You’ll learn how to craft lessons that balance challenge with support, tailor approaches for neurotypical and neurodivergent learners, and recognize signs of cognitive overload.
Drawing from my own experiences with homeschooling and my observations of my grandchildren, this session will offer actionable insights to improve daily learning outcomes. Whether your child is struggling to grasp new concepts or thriving and ready for the next challenge, this presentation will provide strategies to help you manage cognitive load effectively, maximizing both academic success and a positive learning experience.
Join Blair to explore how managing cognitive load can transform your homeschool journey into one that is not only effective but also enjoyable and fulfilling for both you and your child.
