LIVE Curriculum Q&A Webcast + Curriculum Giveaway ($2,000 Value)
Tuesday, April 15, 12:00 PM CT
7 Keys to Being a God-Centered Teacher (even when your kids act like barbarians!)
On this LIVE Q&A webcast, we’ll be laying out a practical plan for reviewing and resetting, to put God back at the center of your family discipleship and education…
Seven simple things you can do to relieve yourself of your heavy burdens, and take on the light yoke of our great Savior.
THEN, we’ll also be tying this into the CONTENT of what you teach. Because you cannot produce a God-centered character in your kids, without feeding them on God-centered content.
We are gardening our children’s minds and souls. So you have to water the plants with good water — good curriculum content. Don’t use the toxic water!
So we’ll also be covering…
Five easy ways to tell whether a curriculum is God-centered, Godly, God-blessed, and God blessing.
THEN, as always, there will be plenty of time in the second half to answer YOUR questions. The whole point is to help you deal with your actual, real problems — with the most practical advice we have.
As you watch the Homeschool Curriculum Summit, we bet you’ll have questions you wish you could ask while watching the sessions. This is your chance to get all those questions answered!

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.
