Most homeschoolers continue to offer their children the same type of education they received; they just do it at home. Parents prepare their children in a public school-grade level fashion for a future job, teaching them only "what to think". Our founding fathers received something different - a leadership education through mentoring. Leadership education trains our children "how to think" in a variety of situations. Come here Kerry Beck discuss three types of educational models, how to move from "what to think" to "how to think" in your homeschool and practical ways to implement a Biblical Leadership Education from young kids to young adults.

From the early years of educating a child, you can determine whether or not you are raising a leader. Most kids who follow the conveyor-belt, public school model fulfill the government’s goal and become followers in life. Learn to go beyond the conveyor-belt and provide leadership training at a young age. Come away with specific ideas to prepare your children at a young age to be future leaders, to develop the love for learning in your children at a young age and to provide a firm foundation of character in your children.

Go beyond the early years of training leaders and learn how to provide self-directed study for your own children. Mentoring has been the successful model to train statesmen, entrepreneurs and community leaders over the centuries. Discover clues to becoming a successful mentor to your children and to offer your children opportunities to study their own interests. Don’t be fooled by the conveyor-belt model! We all learn more when we are self-motivated to study. Use mentoring this coming year to encourage your own children to be self-motivated in their studies.

Are you stuck in a rut when it comes to choosing curriculum? Do you buy the same “stuff” each year just because you used it last year? Realize that no single approach to home schooling works for all ages and all subjects. Come hear Kerry Beck use Biblical principles for selecting the right approach for your child. We will discuss how Charlotte Mason, Classical, Unit Studies and the Principle Approach have advantages in different subjects at different stages of your child’s development.
