Ms. Tara Atkinson:  Homeschool Conference Speaker and Workshop Leader Details

• Homeschooling: Getting Started
• Homeschooling: Single-Parent Homes

Single Parents Panel (with Rosalyn Newhouse)
Are you a single parent trying to juggle homeschooling and earning a living? Is your partner away for long periods of time? Learn some ways to make homeschooling work while going it alone. Tara spent years homeschooling her four boys, 8-14 years old, while their dad worked long hours and traveled for work and has been doing it on her own for the last 3 years since becoming a
single parent. Rosalyn has been a homeschooling single parent for her two children for a total of 20 years, and has learned a lifetime of lessons in the process.

Homeschooling 101: Learning Outside the Box (with Alison Jakel)
Are you just starting your home education adventure or still only considering the
possibility? This workshop is a great starting point. We'll discuss home education approaches, finding help and resources, what's worth worrying about and what's not, and how to handle doubts and the "S" question (socialization). Tara is President of OHEN and has always homeschooled her four sons. Alison is Secretary of OHEN and has always homeschooled her two sons, 9 and 13.
