Homeschool Launch Course
Master Class to Equip & Empower Parents to Homeschool Their Children
Description
COURSE DESCRIPTION:
This course will launch you into viewing "education" in a whole new way! You will see your children as more than just "school students" who need to have curriculum poured into their heads. It will launch you into discovering and creating a new way of life, and will give you the needed tools to feel confident to teach your children and transform your relationships with them for the better.
Considering that "Education is not the filling of a head, but the lighting of a fire," this course will equip you to learn how to light a fire that, rather than burning out your children with too much “school at home” will help your family soar above the burn-out norm.
In this course, Barb Shelton, veteran and pioneer homeschooler, who homeschooled their three children for 24 years, from K-graduation, will cover a wide variety of topics that will give you a fresh perspective on “all the above.” It will redirect those who have been homeschooling for years and are already burning out, even (especially), and give them new hope and focuses.
Most families merely drag through their children's childhood, which they only get ONE of, missing out on ALL sorts of opportunities for true learning, bonding, and preparation for real life. Soon enough they’ll be gone, with lives of their own. Help make these years count in the most meaningful of ways, and launch them into a lifetime of learning.
HOMESCHOOL BIO ON BARB:
(There is a generic bio on Barb on Udemy, but it's not homeschool-specific. This one is...)
Barb Shelton homeschooled her and husband Dave's three children from 1982 - when homeschooling was almost unheard of - until 2006 when they graduated their youngest. Not only did Barb live to tell about it, she also wrote to tell how to do it via 8 books, spoke on a creative variety of homeschooling topics around the country, and at present enjoys sweet relationships with all six of their kids (the three got married doubling the number) and their four grandkids.
Barb is also the leader of the Homeschool Alliance of SW Washington, which acts as a net to assist families coming out of the public school system find direction and help to connect in the homeschool realm.
Barb’s multi-faceted message is vital to all homeschooling parents whether they are brand new or burning-out. Jesus said "My yoke is easy, my burden is light," so why are so many homeschoolers so over-burdened?! You'll find out why and how to avoid it in this course.
With vulnerability, humor, and God's truth, Barb inspires parents to pursue God's "yoke" for them ~ His unique plan for the education of their own children, and offers many practical, doable, user-friendly, and just plain fun tools for doing so.
