Welcome to the wonderful world of homeschooling.  You have made the decision and are wondering what's next?  Marty & Carolyn Forte of Excellence In Education will spend about one hour with you providing great insights and hands on applications to provide you with the attitude and creativity to embark on a marvelous road to homeschool success.

Questions that will be answered include the following:

•  How long to homeschool
• Decompression time
• Learning Styles
• Curriculum
• Free Time
• Extra Curricular Activities
• Pre-School
• Elementary School
• High School
• Goals

The information and guidance will differ a bit from the "box" advice commonly seen on homeschool pod casts and you tube videos.  Our emphasis consistently circles around the concepts of 

• Personal Freedom
• Learning how to teach oneself
• The love of learning
• Mastery
• The dismissal of the Age = Grade concept of classroom protocols
• The discovery of Play and Free Time
• Exploration
• Individual Talents
• Individual Interests
• Learning Styles

LEARNING STYLE ASSESSMENT

Over the years we have seen many families either quit homeschooling or continue with a constant tension providing a negative learning environment.  The sad part is that this could have been prevented by just knowing what your learning style is and that of your children. Our learning style assessment covers a total of five areas:

• Modalities
• Dispositions
• Talents
• Interests
• Environment

How many times have you said “I just don’t understand my child” or “Why do they do what they do?”  Do you realize that a simple knowledge of learning dispositions alone can make a huge difference in the learning environment as well as the success of your families homeschool journey.

In the last year of so we have seen a large number of new families participate in homeschooling.  While many families willingly choose to homeschool with full enthusiasm and purpose we do find that many are reluctant homeschoolers.  Through the eyes and experience of Martin and Carolyn Forte (homeschool pioneers) this program will provide some insights and guidance into the delightful world of homeschooling.  Most of the questions  the reluctant homeschooler has will be answered in this approximately 40 minute presentation.

Included in this presentation will be the TEST to see if you qualify to homeschool.  You will be totally surprised if you take this TEST.  Hear of some of the great examples of successful homeschooling families and how your family will be able to achieve great things.  Discover how your children will benefit from "unstructured play" and the progress of your child through the process of self teaching.  The perspective of a former credentialed teacher will surprise you with her observations.
