LIVE Q&A Workshop for Homeschool Teachers
Monday, October 21, 12:00 PM CT
7 Common Teaching Traps that Sabotage God-Centered Homeschooling (and How To Avoid Them)
Join Kevin Swanson, Tauna Meyer, Mandy Maltz, and Brandee Gillham on October 21 at 12pm CT for “7 Common Teaching Traps that Sabotage God-Centered Homeschooling (and How To Avoid Them).” During this LIVE Q&A webcast, you’ll discover…
- How to detox your homeschool of Dewey’s humanist school model and replace it with God’s method of life-integrated, biblical discipleship.
- Why loner homeschooling can be just as bad as co-dependent homeschooling and how to build God-honoring community without turning it into a crutch.
- If you habitually second-guess yourself, overspend in search of the “perfect” curriculum, or rush from one conference or podcast to the next looking for fresh clarity and motivation…this might be why.
- How to escape the homeschool hamster wheel by (re)discovering what God expects of you as a parent (and leaving the Joneses to keep up with themselves).
- What to do when you’re not sure what to do…when your 5-year-old seems to be winning the battle of wills and wits or you can’t get your mopey, mono-syllable teen to share their heart.
- Why teaching an unbiased, “neutral” facts version of math, history, or any other subject will leave your kids feeling bored, empty of purpose, and ignorant about what matters most (and why the just-add-Bible-verses approach won’t fix it)
- How to use planning, schedules, and routines to create a more orderly home WITHOUT turning into “tiger-mom,” driving your kids away, or collapsing into bed at 11 p.m. feeling like a failure.
- …and much more.
Our Hosts
Daniel & Megan
Daniel and Megan Craig are passionate about home education, discipleship, and the Church. Both first-generation homeschool graduates, Daniel and Megan have a great burden to build on all their parents taught them. Married for 8 years with four children in tow, they are in the throes of learning what it means to raise a family to the glory of God. Daniel operates an accounting firm and serves as the Marketing Director for Generations Homeschool.
Brandee
Brandee and her cowboy husband enjoy serving as fourth generation ranchers on the family operation in Northeast Colorado raising beef cattle, quarter horses, chickens and bees. She is so thankful she left the world of teaching collegiate anatomy to become a full-time mama. The Lord called her to spend her days homeschooling her four cowpokes (with one of those precious boys already in heaven). She encourages others by telling them that no time invested in our children will ever be wasted. Her deepest prayer is that she will raise these men to be warriors for Christ and passionate learners. Brandee deeply loves Jesus Christ, home discipleship, patriotism, agriculture, volunteering, hard work, and speaking the truth with love and laughter. You can connect with her at BrandeeGillham.com.
Todd & Jessie
Todd and Jessie are committed to raising their children in the fear and admonition of the Lord, seeing the importance of strengthening future generations for the work of the Kingdom. They’ve been homeschooling their 8 children for the past 21 years, and just graduated their first child last year. Todd also serves as a pastor of their local church.
