Starting Your Homeschool Journey
Comenzando su viaje de educación en el hogar
The decision to homeschool can be overwhelming. In this workshop, we’ll explore the key concerns of many parents when considering homeschooling: how to get started, choosing a curriculum, and understanding different learning styles and teaching methodologies. You will walk away equipped with strategies to transform your home and positively impact your children’s education.
Bilingual Education for Hispanic Families
Educating bilingual children and preserving their heritage can be challenging for Hispanic homeschool families. It’s a reality that second-generation individuals may lose their parents’ spoken language. Learn how to create a bilingual environment at home so your children can be immersed in two cultures and enjoy the benefits of speaking two languages. We will explore educational and multicultural strategies, resources, and more.
