679: Crisis Homeschooling Outreach, With Erin Huffstutter
I am excited to welcome Erin Huffstutter, a homeschooling mom and School Sucks listener who has just released an extraordinary outreach resource called Crisis Homeschool Handbook: Practical Home Education Through 2020 and Beyond.
This un-intimidating book can be read in a day, but Erin has managed to pack in much of the important research, educational philosophy, and practical resources we have discussed on this show for the last decade.
Today we'll discuss:
- Why we both initially rejected John Taylor Gatto
- Digging into each child’s learning preferences and personality type
- Knowing as a parent what homeschooling style best suits your personality and strengths
- avoiding homeschool burnout
- the great screen-time debate
From Amazon:
Crisis Homeschool Handbook is not your typical homeschool book. It's a down-and-dirty survival guide for navigating the 2020 school year. Written specifically for parents who feel current events have left them no choice but to try homeschooling.
Author Erin Huffstutter is a "veteran" homeschooler with a decade of experience. In Crisis Homeschool Handbook, she offers practical advice, real-world action steps and curated lists of online resources to empower families as they wade into home education.
The downloadable version of The Ideas Into Action Summit is now available.
