"Choosing Curriculum That's Right For You"
Keynote delivered by: Tammy Duby, homeschooling mother, author, creator of Lap Books, and science vendor!
Buying curriculum because it works for your friend's kids is probably the LAST reason you should buy it. You alone know what's best for your child. You even know what he already knows! Let's look at three types of curriculum: the Classroom Approach, the Life Approach, and the Applied Approach. What is the teacher's role and the student's role in each? Figure out which suits you, relax in your decision, then take charge of the Curriculum Hall!
Purchase Tickets Early!
Keynote Meal tickets are available from local IDEA offices for $10. All tickets must be purchased in advance so that we can provide accurate numbers to the caterers. The purchase price is the same for IDEA and non-IDEA attendees. The meals in every location cost more than $10 each and are subsidized by IDEA so that more homeschoolers can be encouraged and inspired! Since there is limited seating in most locations, anyone taking a seat must purchase a ticket, including small children. Nursing babies are of course free.
