Session Five
Plan Your Family’s Homeschool Year
Craft a Custom Plan That Balances Your Family and Your Career
Tuesday, November 19th, 2024 | 6 p.m.
It’s time to do school YOUR way! In the Plan Your Family’s Homeschool Year Workshop, you’ll create a flexible framework for your family that allows you to incorporate academics and activities, while balancing your professional responsibilities .
This hands-on workshop consists of 4 main exercises:
- You’ll brainstorm what your children will learn for the school year.
- You’ll plan the core subjects and “electives” for the year.
- You’ll plan out your day-to-day schedule for the coming semester.
- You’ll learn strategies to maximize productivity in your days, whether you’re a stay-at-home parent or a parent who works outside the home!
At the end of the workshop, you’ll walk away with a personalized plan that empowers you to confidently manage your career and your family’s homeschool year!
About our presenter:
Elan Page is the founder of Homeschool Our Way, whose mission is to help families of color access the freedom and fulfillment that homeschool offers.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, Elan and her husband realized that education doesn’t have to follow a rigid model. They decided to embrace homeschooling for their two daughters, recognizing the invaluable opportunities for personalized learning, nurturing their children’s individual strengths and passions, and adapting their education to their children’s unique learning styles.
Elan channeled her own experiences with starting homeschooling into founding Homeschool Our Way, aiming to help other families of color avoid any feelings of overwhelm that might emerge in the process of starting down this new path. Homeschool Our Way offers a weekly podcast, the Homeschool Launch Blueprint online course, and additional resources to empower families of color to educate their children with confidence and clarity.
