Michael Smith The Angry Child: What Ticks Johnny Off? Have any of your children demonstrated a tendency toward anger or a bad temper? If so, this session is absolutely essential for you.

Bill Jack The Biblical Basis for True Authority, Part 1 (Romans 13) What is a Christian to do when evil seems to be winning? What is the biblical response—especially when one is a student in secular a institution—when a person in position of authority begins to further evil and avenge good? How does one maintain respect for the position of authority without obeying evil commands? This is an intense two-hour seminar for youth and adults—homeschoolers and public school students—parents and teachers.

Saturday 11:00-11:45 Phil Downer Dad’s Irreplaceable Role This is a practical and biblical session on the father’s role in training the homeschool family and leading the home. Dad needs to be engaged in instructing, but also in building strong character and strong relationships. He is called to be a strong leader, and yet gentle and humble. He is not just a coach, but God’s player-coach. And one of the most powerful secrets of how Dad can be all these things is to start by being a three-letter word: fun! Elizabeth Smith Balancing Home, Marriage, and Homeschooling If we want our homeschool years to be successful, we must build a quality family life and healthy marriage that will serve as a model for our children’s future relationships. This session focuses on how to make this happen. Included are Ten Tips for Wives and What Wives Wish Their Husbands Knew about Homeschooling. Wanda Gibert Telling the Whole Story: Incorporating African American History into Your Curriculum Many people question the importance of studying African American History. Demolishing the stronghold of Satan’s lies of prejudice and division is critical for the body of Christ and the homeschooling community to move forward in unity. Learn how to teach the whole story of God’s Providential Hand in establishing our country for His glory. Meet some of the most ardent of all: African American Patriots!
29 Jim Weiss The Astounding History of the Holy Temple There have been two holy temples in Jerusalem, each sitting upon the high Temple Mount. King Solomon built the first, the most beautiful edifice on earth in its day. But Solomon gave it more than just beauty. Jim Weiss will show you how a building could demonstrate Solomon’s famous wisdom and kindness. The second temple, built a thousand years later, was that to which Jesus came to pray. Built by a murderer, destroyed by a man who did all he could to save it, this temple sat at the crossroads of the Roman, Jewish and early Christian worlds. Hear the strange story of how it came to be, learn its role for Judaism, hear the dramatic story of its fall at the hands of a future Roman emperor, learn about what remains of it, and understand how its destruction changed Christianity, Judaism and Islam forever. Jim Weiss brings this presentation all his storytelling skills and his ability to tell a complex story in a way that is clear and emotionally profound. You will envision kings, prophets, wise men—and a certain boy sitting in a courtyard and astounding the wise teachers with his understanding.

Stan John Truth Project Session 2: The Divine Imprint This session is the second of the three required sessions to qualify as a trained Truth Project Host. In this session we will view God’s design of Family and how it reflects His own nature.

(Note: you must be registered for the Truth Project training to attend this session.)

Saturday 12:00-12:45 Andrew Pudewa The Four Deadly Errors of Teaching Writing We’ve all suffered it at one time or another: Frustration about writing assignments. Either on the receiving end, or perhaps now on the giving end, there can be a few distinctly discouraging aspects to teaching and being taught writing. The tough questions include: What to correct and how to give a grade? How much help is too much? Isn’t the assignment clear enough? Why don’t students find their own errors? Learn and avoid four teaching mistakes that contribute to this frustration: Overcorrecting, Holding Back Help, Unclear Assignments, & Over-Expectation. Michael Smith How Do We Measure Success in Homeschooling? Why aren’t your Christian neighbors homeschooling? What is the number one reason that parents do not homeschool? Their lack of confidence to believe that they can actually do the job, or, put another way—fear of failure. Many homeschoolers in the midst of homeschooling are wondering how they will be able to determine whether they are successful or not with their children. Mike will explain in very clear and decisive terms how you can know whether or not you have been successful when you get to the end of your homeschool experience where it says “The End.” One way to answer the question is whether or not our work homeschooling with our children has been in vain. The Bible gives clear and decisive direction in this area which should be very encouraging to all of us, and hopefully give us encouragement in even the most difficult situations. Julie Hiramine Through the Eyes of a Child For: Parents of children of all ages. Our culture has drawn the battle line: immerse our children at any cost. While the world’s agenda may be knocking at our door, we as parents are the gatekeepers of our homes, especially regarding media. In this session, Julie explains how the developmental age of our children is vital in knowing the type and content of media they are able to consume and appropriately view. Julie gives practical age by age tips for parents on how to teach their children discernment while watching TV and movies, playing video games, and while on the internet. These easy-to-implement ideas will help you chart a course for your children’s lifelong media standards. Shelley Noonan A Marriage That Doesn’t Just Survive... But Thrives Does home educating your children stretch your marriage to the limit? While there is no single success formula for all marriages, there are principals that can be applied to strengthen your relationship. Shelley will divulge the secrets to being a happy homeschool couple. The Noonans’ marriage not only survived but thrived through 13 years of home educating their children. Jim Stobaugh Do I take the ACT or SAT I? Or Neither? It is obvious to older homeschooling families that the standardized test is far more important to college admission than any other college credential. Which test should the students take? How do the students prepare for each test? Nada Rothgaber Learning Styles - How Does Your Child Learn? How does your child learn best? Is your child in constant movement? Is your child constantly humming and singing? Does your child love to do workbook pages? Does your child hate to do workbook pages? Is your child always taking things apart or building things? Join Nada in a session which might help you to determine your child’s learning style. When we go over these styles, you’ll see yourself falling into one of these styles and you’ll see your child falling into a different learning style – At least that is usually a way that God stretches us! As homeschoolers, we have the blessing of being able to present material in a style that makes it easier for our child to learn. Once you know your child’s learning style you’ll be able to take that into consideration when buying curriculum: You can think about whether it is appropriate for your child’s learning style, not yours. It will make your job much easier as a homeschool teacher and it will make learning fun and successful for your child.
