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.

One of the biggest challenges in education is transfer. Learners may master a concept in one lesson yet struggle to recognize when or how to use that same knowledge in a different subject or a real-world situation. In this session, we’ll explore what cognitive science tells us about why transfer is so difficult and how to intentionally teach for it. We’ll look at the role of background knowledge, explicit instruction, retrieval, varied practice, and scaffolding in helping learners make meaningful connections across subjects and apply what they know with confidence. You’ll leave with practical strategies you can use across grade levels to help learning stick and transfer beyond a single lesson.

For many of us, the hardest part of homeschooling is finding balance. One day, you are a parent, and the next day, you are a parent who is responsible for planning and implementing an amazing, empowering, splendiferous learning adventure for your child. In your mind, you can see what you want to create, and then comes the hard truth of reality. Making that dream a reality can feel all-consuming. In part, because of the high investment homeschoolers have in their children’s education.

It is worth it, though, because homeschooling offers an incredible opportunity to tailor education to your child’s unique academic needs. However, it also brings a set of challenges, especially for parents who juggle multiple roles, often including work. This can make homeschooling feel like a tightrope walk while juggling, where maintaining balance is important yet challenging.

It is important that you find a place of balance. If you don’t, burnout can happen. If you don’t, your children might struggle with who is responsible for your stress. The good news is that there are strategies that can help, and hey, these strategies have the benefit of being things that are good to model for your children, anyway. Things like using a growth mindset, effective self-evaluations, modeling positive self-talk, letting your best be good enough, and the art of letting go.
