We are so excited about our very first ever Adult Certification class! We have a dozen individuals participating. What a diverse and beautiful group of people are represented in the course. We are going on a journey together. A journey of learning and laughing together. Because isn’t life and homeschooling a laughable journey? How many times do you feel you have two choices: laugh or cry? I choose laughter; humor is good medicine.
We are excited to learn about how to teach our writing methods and our educational philosophies to parents in our community. This journey is rich, and it is raw. It’s past time to get serious about educating the next generation and equipping them to make a difference in their world. But first, we must equip ourselves, so that’s what we’re doing together. We’ve got the information, but we need to learn the pace that works for busy adults, especially homeschool parents.
Of course, each semester we will be starting a new Foundations of Basic Writing class. So think about joining us in January if you feel the need to gain some practical guidance on teaching writing to your children. In addition to our Foundational Basic Writing course, we will begin teaching some modules for adults to continue gaining the knowledge and skills that will enable them to teach their children quality language arts. Here is a list of some of the modules that we are working to develop:
Teaching Early Writers (preschool-1st grade)
Creating a Home Environment that Fosters Quality Communication
Teaching Multi-paragraph Essay Writing
Grammar Basics
Foundational Basic Writing Review and Practice
Blending Literature with Writing
Focus on Editing and Correcting Students’ Writing
Developing Critical Thinking Alongside Writing
And More!
We do hope you’ll seriously consider joining us on this journey to becoming better writers and better writing instructors. All adult participants will begin with the Foundational Basic Writing course, which is a 12 week module. After that, they may select any of the modules as they are offered. Feel free to send us an email and let us know what modules you would like to see us offer first.
