Session 2 – “MegaSkills”

This presentation is completed and available for review.

With the birth of your first child you became a teacher, so even if you are just embarking on homeschooling, you’re already experienced!  This presentation is a confidence booster.  You’ll learn creative and workable ways to continue to fuel your children’s “inner engines of learning” as Dorothy Rich put it in her book MegaSkills. These are the characteristics and qualities that will enhance your children’s performance with school work and on whatever roads they pursue in life, and make the journey more enjoyable for everyone along the way.

August 17th

Cindy Dunn

Cindy Dunn left the employee benefits management field when she took up the managing of motherhood and has experienced benefits beyond calculation ever since.  Having two children born eleven years apart meant two overlapping rounds of homeschooling over 23 years, winding up a couple years ago.  She describes her teaching philosophy as paralleling a definition of organic – cultivating without force or contrivance – and enjoys sharing practical and creative means for nurturing students, and parents too, into full bloom.


Session 3 – Value of Literature

Click to view

Hearing words spoken aloud is necessary for a child’s early development, and reading to your child can be a beautiful shared experience for both of you. Parents are usually already aware of the importance of reading to a child until they can read on their own, but Cindy Miller argues that this practice should be continued throughout a child’s education. She recounts five main benefits of reading aloud, drawing from The Read-Aloud Handbook by Jim Trelease, and shares how this has enriched her own family’s homeschooling experience.

August 24th

Cindy Miller

Even before she had reached kindergarten, Cindy Miller had become a voracious reader and a lover of the written word. That love for reading has come in handy as she’s taught her own nine children over the past 28 years. For 16 of those years she has shared her passion for literature and writing with the home school community through teaching in co-ops and in the One Day Enrichment program.

August 31st

Marshell Edwards

Marshell Edwards is the homeschooling mother of six. She has been working with One Day Enrichment for four years and has personally conducted over 30 hours of recorded interviews with homeschooling parents.
