Kate’s Talks
More Fun = Less Burn-out: How to Add More Playfulness, Flow, and Connection to Your Homeschool Days (Keynote)
Many homeschool parents work tirelessly to make homeschooling fun and enjoyable for their kids but feel overwhelmed and burnt-out by the daily demands of homeschooling. In this session, you’ll learn strategies for making homeschooling and parenting more fun–not just for your kids, but also for you!
Kate will show you how to incorporate more playfulness, flow, and connection into your teaching so that you can enjoy your homeschool days more and avoid burn-out. You’ll walk away with concrete tools for making your days more fun, along with a greater appreciation of how fun both enhances your teaching and nourishes deeper connections with your kids.
Teaching Math with Confidence and Joy in the Primary Years (Preschool through Second Grade)
Want to help your children develop solid math skills in a playful, developmentally appropriate way that instills a love of learning? You’ll learn simple routines, fun activities, and practical ways to weave math into your daily life so that your preschoolers through second graders develop a love of math right from the start. These approaches complement any curriculum to help your child enjoy and appreciate math.
Make Math Stick: Teaching Techniques for Long-Term Learning
Do your kids ever stare at you blankly when you ask them about the lesson you taught them yesterday? You’ll learn why this is perfectly normal—and how to use the science of memory to help your children retain what they’ve learned for the long haul. Kate will focus on examples from elementary and middle school math, but the general principles apply to any age or subject.
