Homeschool Workshop by Cindy Downes, Shawnee

Cindy Downes is coming to  Shawnee, Oklahoma, on November 5, 2005, to teach a workshop entitled, "Homeschooling Simplified" or "How to Simplify Your Homeschool for Success"

Many homeschooling parents are committed to homeschooling, have the "best" curriculum money can buy, and are great disciplinarians, yet they're stressed out and ready to quit.  Why? Usually, it is one of two reasons:
 
    1.    They're not using their homeschool time wisely
 
    2.    They're using curriculum and/or teaching methods not suited to their own family's needs and their child’s learning style, goals, interests, and abilities
 
In this workshop, Cindy is going to show you how to simplify your schedule, your curriculum, and your teaching methods so that your children will learn what they need to know without you, the parents, burning out! You'll learn how to set priorities and goals, how to set a reasonable weekly and daily schedule, how to keep records, how to choose a simplified teaching style, and how to adapt curriculum to your child's learning style, goals, interests, and abilities.
 
The workshop is being held on November 5th at the Gordon Cooper Technology Center, One John C. Bruton Boulevard, in Shawnee, OK. from 9:00 am to noon, in the Seminar Center room. (Directions: http://www.gctech.org/about/drivingdir.htm)

Seating is limited (doors open at 8:30 a.m.) and is on a first-come, first-serve. Get a babysitter and both parents come or leave one spouse home to watch the kids.

No children permitted (except infants of nursing mothers).
 
There is no charge for this workshop because of the generous support of Gordon Cooper Technology Center, El Shaddai Church in Seminole, Vicki Mason, and Jerry Johnston. 
 
She will be selling her book, The Checklist, at the workshop. For more information, contact Cindy at cindy@oklahomahomeschool.com
