Robin Schneider:  Homeschool Conference Speaker and Workshop Leader Details

My favorite topic is science education, specifically science skills. In other words, I teach "how" rather than "what".
Workshops I've done in the past:

Raising Scientifically Literate Children

The Gentle Way to Teach the Scientific Method

The Three Pillars of Science Education

Good Examples of Bad Experiments (for children/teens, though parents like it too)

Questions, Questions: Teaching with the Socratic Method

States of Matter, States of Fun (for children)

Round and Round it Goes: Biogeochemical Cycling (for children/teens)

I've also taught workshops on other topics:

Everything I Needed to Know, I Learned as a Homeschool Mom (suitable for keynote address)

Public Speaking 101

Stretch, Stretch, STRETCH that Money!

Raising Entrepreneurial Children

Teaching Around the Cycle

• Author of Teaching Science Skills at Home (Without Being a Rocket Scientist)
• Homeschool mom for 15 years (4 boys)
• Bachelor's degree in chemistry.
• Current Ph.D. student, geochemistry program.
• Teaching experience also includes tutoring math & science students one-on-one as well as teaching classes in a variety of situations (church, community, college)

Robin Schneider grew up in a science-centered home. After earning a bachelor's degree in chemistry, she spent fifteen years as a homeschool mom to her four boys. Teaching her children got her so excited about learning that she later returned to school as a full-time Ph.D. student.  Although her primary focuses in life are currently spending time with her children and doing research in aquatic chemistry, Robin also participates in science outreach (to homeschoolers and more traditional educators/students) and church and community service work.
