oriented as well as fun for the
whole family. Take, for example, our first regional field trip to
Disneyland. You may be asking yourself what Disneyland has to do
with education. What enticed SHEA to book this trip was the Youth
Education Series (or YES) classes that Disneyland has recently
introduced. Not only are we offering a fantastic group rate (one
that other homeschool groups have not been able to accomplish), but
the fact that your children can have a hands-on experience in
physics, history, or get behind the scenes and discover animation
from a renowned source, this is truly a remarkable experience! SHEA
is working on several more regional field trips in the next 18
months - approximately one every quarter. In addition, we will work
closely with Area Leaders and invite feedback from parents and
students to put together fun, educational field trips and activities
that your children will treasure for a lifetime.
Area Leaders are a key factor to building a strong, regional
alliance. SHEA will form relationships with individuals who are
willing to learn new techniques that make their group grow, and are
anxious to advocate home education by example. Some of these will
also be leaders of an existing home educators group, and others will
be joining us with their years of experience in leadership from
other arenas to open up new groups. Everyone will bring something
to the table, and will help to make an unlimited amount of resources
available to home educators. If you are a group leader struggling
to get your members to participate, SHEA can help you. Area Leaders
will work with a variety of home educator groups in their community
to encourage participation in academic and enriching events and
activities, and provide training and feedback for them.
Additionally, we hope to provide home educators with resources,
tips, and updates to make your job more manageable. From curriculum
resources to free downloadable lessons, legal updates to uplifting
discussion forums, to our online magazine that is currently in
development, we hope that you will find everything you need here.
Remember that social activities are about choices, and as a regional
organization, SHEA can provide more choices for your family!
