Are Your Children Followers of Christ?: Living out a vision for faith in the home.

Preparation for Persecution: A Curriculum Proposal

At some time in the future, is it imaginable that freedom of speech and freedom of religion could be suppressed where we live? History would indicate so.

How do we cultivate necessary virtues without sparking burdensome fears? This may not be a pleasant subject to contemplate, but perhaps it will be an important one.
Conquering Corrupt Culture by Raising Christian Communicators
Andrew Pudewa
IEW
Today, many of us have an intuitive sense that major changes are coming, that soon our world may be very different in ways not necessarily convenient or comfortable. But at the same time, we must wake up each day and live as though things will continue on pretty much as they are. Resolving this cognitive dissonance requires that we carefully contemplate our circumstances because we truly are in a cultural war, fighting the “non-gospel” of aesthetic and moral relativism on three fronts – personal, familial, and social. What should our priorities be, and how can we prepare our children to be “culture warriors?
Counter the Culture by Knowing God’s Names & Attributes
Ava Pennington
Every value the world has corrupted, such as the sanctity of life, sexual morality, and the rightful place of nature, can be addressed by understanding who God says He is and how He relates to His people. Learning His names and attributes provides a solid foundation and filter equipping students to recognize and respond to teaching which conflicts with God’s character and His ways.
This workshop will include specific examples illustrating the relevance of God’s names and attributes to our relationship with Him, with others, and with our culture

Ethos School
You homeschool because you want to ensure your child develops holistically – spiritually, socially, and academically.

Maybe you feel lost when it comes to planning your child’s academic schedule to get them prepared for their next steps, or maybe your child’s learning needs outsourced your content expertise, say, in Math, Science, World Languages, or college and academic counseling? Have you ever wondered if there was a way to have the best of both worlds—the support of experienced educators and the freedom and flexibility of homeschooling? More and more families are discovering that supplementing their homeschooling program with digital courses, online tools, and virtual communities has revolutionized what’s possible for homeschoolers.

Exploring Your World – Utilizing cross curricular education with real world applications
Brandy Champeau
Exploring Expressions
Did you know that people retain learning better when they can connect it to other things that they know or have experienced? This is especially true for middle and high school students. Just because we need to break up classes for a transcript doesn’t mean that we have to bombard our children with many singular subjects. In this presentation I will show how we can use a single subject or topic with real world applications as a baseline to cover multiple core and elective subject areas in a manner suitable for any transcript.
Developing Healthy Expression: Incorporating Social and Emotional learning into your curriculum

Teaching With the Heart of Respect – Growing Good Humans
Pamela Prescott
Manners of the Heart
Within the development of every child, there is a strong association between their future success and the management of their emotional skills. This is often revealed in the student’s learning capacity and behavioral performance. It becomes clear when a child misses out on prime learning opportunities because they have no tools to help them navigate and command their emotions except to exhibit them in unproductive behaviors. Teaching the heart is respect-based learning. Students who can correctly identify their emotions and self-regulate them are poised for sustainable success in academics and life. Growing good humans only happens when the heart and mind recognize, understand, and manage themselves in even the most stressful situation, by using respect as a basis for decision-making. This interactive session will provide the user-friendly Heart Education tools and practices used to build good humans through Heart Education.
