Home Schooling/Expert Profile
Expertise
I am able to answer a wide range of questions regarding curriculum, educational styles, publicly funded homeschool resources centers, some general questions regarding policy and legality issues, unskooling and freeskool models, and more.
Experience in the area
I am an instructor with years of experience teaching in a variety of non-traditional settings (i.e. homeschool or unschool groups, community college programs for the under 18 crowd, libraries, museums, etc). I write curriculum for a variety of subjects, I recently ended employment with a children's museum as an education and curriculum director so that I could start a freeskool for kids ages 5-12. I also have two children (7 and 14) and have participated in a wide range of homeschool/unskool models as a parent.
Education/Credentials
High School, Some college, and a general thirst for knowledge and personal enrichment.
