Mentoring Course

I had mentioned in the summer or September that I would like to do a mentoring course. However, due to technical glitches, it took me quite a while to get the book I wanted but I now have it and would like to again offer that opportunity to those interested. Several of you did respond, and I apologize that it took so long. It is 8 weeks and I think I would like to do it either every week or perhaps 2 weeks on and 1 week off. I am looking to do it on a Wednesday evening, hopefully starting February 1 and it would run from 7:30 to 9:30pm. I would like to keep that ending time especially, not because I don't like to talk with others, but maybe because of the opposite, :-)) and everyone, myself included, has a house to run the next day and a good amount of sleep is always good for that. It will also require a monetary commitment for the Parent Workbook of $31.

This program is for any new home educating family interested in more personal mentoring from an experienced veteran – that’s “experienced” not “expert”. This is a detailed mentoring program developed by Vicky Bentley in Virginia based on her years of experience as a home educator and support group member and leader with a group of 300+ member families.

This program may be for you IF:
- you are brand new this year with young children
- you are on the edge of a decision to home educate but want to know more about practical aspects
- you have been at this for a couple of years but still feel you require more of the basic information to go forward more comfortably
- you have older children recently removed from the public or private school system
- you are a veteran and would like to sit in on a session in order to become a mentor with Cornerstone
 
Topics to be covered are:
Beginning the Incredible Journey
Choosing Curriculum
Organizing Your Time
Home Education with Style
Getting Dinner on the Table (The Same Day You Homeschool)
Testing and Evaluation
Teaching Tips
Organizing Your Home
Lessons Learned

You will notice that these topics are not all strictly home educating how-tos but deal with the general flow of your household. I believe that choosing to home educate your children is not about making an education choice. It is truly a lifestyle choice. How you organize (or don't organize) your home and household tasks can and do directly affect your "school" time. Please let me know if you are interested.
