20 Don & Darlene Catlett Homeschool Basics: Help for the New Homeschooler The details about affidavits, logs, standardized testing, portfolios and evaluations can seem very daunting. Until the day arrives when we’re free of all unnecessary paperwork and legal accountability, we need to find ways we can manage these tasks with the least amount of time, energy and stress while maintaining a positive attitude and a good witness. If you worry over these requirements, this workshop is the place to find some ideas. Bring your questions! Nada Rothgaber Homeschooling “Only One” Friends used to tell Nada that she had it “easy” because she was only homeschooling one child. She found that it wasn’t any easier because homeschooling “only one” has a completely different set of challenges than homeschooling a large number. In this session, Nada will highlight various techniques which worked for her when homeschooling “just one.” There will also be a Question and Answer time for the audience to ask questions and to glean from the information sharing of the successes of the other audience members who have been blessed with “just one” child or, as their children grow and graduate, find they are down to the last child and it is now a different ball game to cope with teaching just one child. Nathan &April Elliott CONSTRUCTION ZONE: GOD AT WORK This two-part program, with Bible lessons taken primarily from the books of Ezra and Nehemiah, focuses on spiritual growth in the life of the saved child and the presentation of the Gospel for the unsaved child. The material will be presented in a variety of ways, such as (but not limited to) Bible lessons, missionary stories, puppets, songs, games, etc. Answers in Genesis The above vendor has paid for this session in order to explain and demonstrate the use of their products and services.

Friday 1:00-1:45 Hal & Melanie Young Becoming a Good Steward Setting your sons on the path to financial freedom is more than helping them find a job – it takes thought and hands-on experience at managing money, understanding economics, and making prudent decisions. Here are practical suggestions for how to make that happen. Michael Smith The History of Homeschoolers’ Struggle to Be Free The relative freedom homeschoolers enjoy today did not always exist. Michael Smith takes his audience back to the early days of the modern homeschool movement and describes the legal situation pioneering homeschoolers faced, the sacrifices they made, and the battles they fought to establish the freedom we know today. His timeline will bring the audience up to the current struggles homeschoolers are engaged in and provide a glimpse of future dangers that will require vigilance on the part of each homeschooling family. Just as God required Joshua to establish a memorial by removing 12 stones from the Jordan River so that the fathers would tell their children of God’s miraculous deliverance, homeschooling parents should tell their children the history of the battles homeschoolers faced. This is the only way we will preserve home education to the next, and future, generations. Julie Hiramine The Pathway of Purity that Leads to Purpose For: Teens and their Parents (especially for teens!) Using the 5 senses of seeing, feeling, tasting, hearing, and smelling, Julie Hiramine will not be your science instructor, but edifying you about staying pure. There is a flood of inappropriate imagery and explicit content that besieges us everywhere we turn. Come and receive practical guidance on how to meet the many challenges that surround you in the areas of relationships, media discernment, and developing a deeper relationship with the Lord. God’s call on this generation is to step up into His higher standard and seek His face in the midst of all that might want to pull us off course. Join us as we together plot a course through the maze that the world is lost in. Stephen Guffanti ADHD and Kinesthetic Learners: Newest Discoveries (Part 1) Know someone who moves too much or doesn’t seem to pay attention? This is the workshop for you. Dr. Guffanti will bring you into the heart and mind of the ADHD child. Learning styles filter the details people see and their interaction with others. You will experience the world as a kinesthetic learner does, discover how IQ and other tests don’t effectively test kinesthetic learners, and why they are often misdiagnosed. You will experience both laughter and tears, but most of all, you will develop a deep understanding. Understand your child – and possibly your spouse – better! Bruce Eagleson You Can Do It! (Getting Started Homeschooling) Dr. Eagleson draws on his 22 years of homeschooling and fifteen years on the CHAP board to introduce the topic of getting started in homeschooling. A summary of the research into home education is presented. Curriculum, schedules and record keeping will be covered. Dr. Eagleson takes questions from the floor both during and after the presentation. Julie Shorey Doing It Alone (or feeling like you are) Ideally a homeschool family has two parents working cooperatively to teach and train their children. This workshop offers hope for those who don’t fit the ideal and encouragement – both biblical and practical – from the speaker’s 12 years of experience as a single mom.

Friday 2:00-2:45 21 Andrew Pudewa Teaching Boys & Other Children Who Would Rather Make Forts All Day Children like to do what they can do; they want to do what they think they can do, and they hate to do what they think they cannot do. If you want excited and enthusiastic children who learn well, you must understand these key laws of motivation, and focus on the essential requirement of relevancy. If it matters, children will learn it, and if it doesn’t, they won’t. This session will enlighten you with specific ways to find and create relevancy for children, even when they have no apparent interest. Phil Downer Supporting and Encouraging the Homeschool Mom This workshop offers encouragement for moms on the challenges of homeschool family life along with tips for how dads can be a vital support to her on issues of sibling conflict, character development, and discipline. Mom needs to take a breather from trying to do everything and find the keys to enjoying deeper relationships with her children. She will hear how to see and seize the opportunities in the problems of homeschool family life. Elizabeth Smith Ten Reasons to Homeschool Teens This session discusses important questions to ask regarding homeschooling teens and stresses building good relationships at home. The academic advantages and getting them ready for college are discussed. For those deciding about homeschooling during the teen years, this is a must. The Mallys How to Have Ministry as a Family Our families are our God-given teams. We must not underestimate the tremendous potential we have as family teams for the kingdom of God. This workshop will give encouragement, direction, and practical ideas for developing a “ministry mindset” in your children as you serve the Lord together. This workshop is taught by the entire Mally family and includes a chalk talk and harp music. Jim Stobaugh How to Write Goals & Objectives The maxim that “If one is aiming for nothing, one always reaches it!” is a true statement. This very practical workshop will teach parents how to articulate and to evaluate quantifiable cognitive, behavioral, and affective (i.e., spiritual) goals. The participant will leave with many helpful handouts including goals and objectives from all the core subjects. Stan John Where’s Dad? How one dad successfully homeschooled his son, at home, with a full time(+) career position. Dads, come and get a new line on how you can be much more than the “Principal” of your homeschool. This is a practical, hands-on approach to delivering much more than an academic education. This dad could never imagine doing anything less! Bill Jack The FAD of Christianity — Will it pass the test of time? (II Tim. 1:7) What is a FAD? Learn the three characteristics Christians must have if we want Christianity to be a FAD for the next generation. The Wizard’s promises become the illusion of a fad, a passing fancy; The Wiseman’s promise is the FAD that will bless the next generation. Carol Topp How to Start and Manage a Homeschool Organization: Boards, Budgets and By-laws For: Support Group Leaders. As the homeschooling movement grows, so do support groups and homeschool co-op groups. This means more organization is needed to handle larger memberships. Many homeschool groups find themselves needing to formalize their groups with by-laws and boards of directors. They are handling more money and larger budgets. Here is some advice from a homeschooling mother and CPA who works with non-profit organizations on how to start and manage a larger group. Carol Topp, owner of HomeschoolCPA.com, will discuss Boards, Budgets and By-laws in this helpful workshop for group leaders and board members.

Friday 3:00-3:45 Hal & Melanie Young Strengthening the Seawall In many cases the decision to homeschool our children is a protective move — we want to defend our children from the crashing waves of secularism, materialism, and other human philosophies that would swamp their developing faith. We try to prevent shipwreck by making sure their boat is sound before they launch out to sea. There’s a critical part of this, though — is our home, especially our marriage, strong enough to withstand the buffeting we will face even as we protect our children? Hal and Melanie speak candidly about the special challenges and temptations of a homeschooling marriage and offer hope and guidance for strengthening the seawall that secures our children’s harbor. Shelley Noonan Manners Boot Camp I don’t know what you’ve been told (echo) Manners aren’t just for the old (echo) Men of character wear them proud (echo) Let me hear you say this loud (echo) Manners (echo) are for (echo) real men (echo) REAL MEN!” Boot camp has traditionally referred to the initial indoctrination and instruction given to new military personnel. Manners Boot Camp is going to be the initial indoctrination and instruction given to young men on the topic of manners. Most people don’t associate manners and boot camp, but Mrs. Noonan will lay out the drill when it comes to etiquette and make it easy for young men to understand and apply to their everyday life. Young men grades 4-12. Parents welcome! Wanda Gibert Lapbooks & Notebooks: What’s all the craze?
