Speaker Sessions
I Believe in Homeschooling
(Biblical Worldview)
Most parents place a high value on the education they can give to their children. It prepares them for life and gives them hope for a happy future. In the old days, the three R’s of schooling included reading, ‘riting, and ‘rithmatic. Is homeschooling succeeding because it is reclaiming the tried-and-true educational philosophy, or is something else at play? In this workshop, Davis presents a compelling case for you to believe in the power of homeschooling and seven new R’s to back it up.
Give Me One Good Reason to Homeschool
(Homeschool How-to)
Are parents really qualified to teach their children everything? What about socialization? These are just a couple of the concerns that make homeschooling seem impossible. But you know homeschooling is continuing to grow. More and more families are considering it and taking the plunge. What are the top reasons? In this session, Davis discusses the moral, academic, and practical reasons to homeschool and helps dispel the myths we all tend to believe. When you finish this workshop, you will know that if there was ever a time to homeschool, it is now.
The First Five Years of Homeschooling
(Family Discipleship)
The first five years of parenting are crucial times of development for young children. Foundations are set that give them a perspective of God, themselves, and others. During these early years, children gain an understanding of love, obedience, and responsibility. Their worldview will be shaped by the books you read to them (including the Bible) and the freedom they are given to sing, dance, play, and explore the great outdoors of God’s wonderful Creation. Is this parenting, homeschooling, or both? In this workshop, you will discover ten lessons your young children should learn and experience that can make a big difference in the first five years of their lives.
Join thousands of homeschoolers this June 11-13th at the Rocky Mountain Homeschool Conference in Denver, Colorado!
Expect to have a lot of fun and fellowship, find great deals on curriculum, and get practical encouragement for your homeschooling journey!
