*Parent-Directed Education - Does God have a "Biblical Mandate" for parents and education? What is it? What are the Christian parents’ options in educating their children? How do we know what is best for a particular family? When is public school right? When does private school make the most sense? Is home schooling always best? David & Laurie Callihan ask some hard questions and provide some provocative answers in this relevant presentation. They address such subjects as "The Options and the Reasons" for different educational choices; followed by "Be sure your reasons are right," as a follow up discussion. They address, "What is the Biblical Mandate?" regarding parents and education. Other topics include "Our children are not creatures of the state (or the church for that matter)," "Is A Public Education O.K?" and "Things to avoid and do in making proper educational decisions." This is subject matter that every Christian parent, not just home schooler, needs to think about. It is offered to home school convention coordinators as a way to invite all Christian parents (and non-Christian for that matter) to reason through their obligations to determine a proper level of oversight in educating their children; perhaps offering it as an up-front workshop or presentation is a viable alternative.

*Homeschooling Your Teens - Many parents who home school their children in the elementary ages become panicked and apprehensive when they reach seventh grade! Something about the combination of puberty, secondary school, teaching advanced math and science, and diplomas combines to instill a lack of confidence that is in reality unwarranted. The Callihan's will give you back your confidence and prepare you for the path of successfully getting your children through high school to college, career and adulthood. The material they cover is gleaned from their new book, "The Guidance Manual for the Christian Home School: A Parent's Guide for Preparing Home School Students for College or Career." Home schooling a teenager has never been easier than today! Find out the how's, why's, what's and when's in this informative workshop. Those who have attended this workshop have gone away with more than they expected. One idea alone may save a homeschooling family thousands of dollars in college costs! This one workshop more than pays for attending the conference, even after purchasing our book!

*Inspiring Your Children to Love Learning - Once a parent makes the commitment to home school, many questions arise about how to take on the task at hand. What are the most important things to do? Where do you start? What are the most important goals? What type of instruction should take place in the secondary school years as opposed to early childhood? The Callihan's believe that academically, the most important thing to do is to plan and prepare around "inspiring a love for learning" in your children. How is this accomplished? What practical things can be done to inspire and assure that the love of learning occurs? If these are areas of concern in your home school, don’t miss hearing what David & Laurie share in this very practical workshop. A well-attended one wherever we give it.

*Guiding Toward A Christian Worldview - Many home school parents feel inadequate when it comes to teaching about worldviews. We haven’t had much training in this area ourselves. Where can we find good material that will help parents provide what the world won’t? What is the difference between a Christian and non-Christian worldview? What difference does it make? What is the difference between a Christian and an agnostic, atheist, or humanist, or something else for that matter? What material is appropriate to teach at what age? What is available academically to help our children prepare to think about the major issues in life: creation and evolution, abortion, euthanasia, sexuality, racial prejudice, violence, proper appearance, family values, politics and citizenship, church and state, war, civil disobedience, and so on? What roles do we as parents play in teaching these subjects? What are some practical tools we can use to teach this material in our homes, and among other home school families too? It provides parents with ammo to address the creation/evolution controversy head-on in the home. A must for every parent!

*High School and Beyond - A clear goal of a home school education is to prepare your students for college or career. What options does your child have for post-secondary education? What if your child doesn’t have college plans? What other options are there? What about the military? Can home schooled students qualify for sports scholarships? Other scholarships? How do we find the information we need? What about careers in missions or Christian service? Are there any tools to help you along the way? What about apprenticing or special training in non-traditional career options? David & Laurie have put together a practical workshop that will answer these questions & much more. If your child is just about ready to "spread wings and fly away" this workshop will more than help

*Focusing On The Heart Of Your Child - When all is said and done, the most important part of home education is not academic or social, but spiritual. This workshop helps give parents some very practical suggestions on ways to build proper spiritual concepts in your curriculum. The Callihan’s share numerous concepts including clear definitions of terms, goals parents can establish for spiritual success, and strategies to help assure that the spiritual dimension of education is covered in the home school. If this subject is neglected, even with excellent academics, you miss everything! Find out how to build the proper spiritual foundations in your children in this practical seminar. This workshop is a foundational requirement for every Christian home school family. The ideas shared here will affect everything else done in the home school. If you miss these concepts, you miss everything. If the ideas learned here are put into practice, the rest of the home school experience will fall in place. This material will provide sanity to any home school situation. It’s a "got to" workshop.

High school students should be able to do most of their work on their own, but you need to know what they are doing and when (or assign work). We always used regular student planners, but these have prayer diaries, scripture, and more - a big improvement. $25.00
