Finding Your Way through the Home School Jungle (with Jane Lambert)
Opinions about home schooling are like belly buttons-everybody has one! Some say home schooling is an academic paradise where we can produce little Doogie Howsers at will--able to enter medical school at 14. Still others believe it is a secular paradise where we can be free from every form of spirituality. And, of course, others believe it is a spiritual paradise where we don't have to be tainted by the world and can live in a safe cocoon. Learn how to find wisdom and balance in a sometimes unbalanced and wacky world as you discover what's right for your family-and how to get along with the other zanies who make up this wonderful world we call home schooling.

You CAN Do Unit Studies
Unit studies remain the mystery of education. Stories abound about how natural and effective unit studies are in education ? but its a topic filled with anxiety for many parents. Are unit studies that hard to prepare? How do I know I've covered everything? Is every subject appropriate for unit study? What if I'm trying to do a classical model? Can unit studies be integrated with textbooks and workbooks? Am I better off buying an off-the-shelf unit study, or can I learn to create my own? Is my student too young (or too old) for unit studies? Learn the answers to these questions and more in this popular workshop.
