CONFERENCE TALK:
DEVELOPING A PLAN FOR HIGH SCHOOL: SAMPLE FOUR-YEAR PLANS

What plan would suit your high school student? What subjects do you teach and when? This seminar will help you organize your thoughts and lay the groundwork for a viable four-year plan. You’ll learn about high school credits, simplifying grading, and the fundamentals of recordkeeping-transcripts, extracurriculars, and diplomas.

DUAL ENROLLMENT & AP: 2 PATHS TO EARNING COLLEGE CREDIT IN HIGH SCHOOL

Your student has multiple ways to earn college credit in high school, but understanding the differences between dual enrollment and Advanced Placement (AP) can be confusing. In this workshop, you’ll learn how each credit option works, what types of credits colleges accept, how to find courses or testing sites, and how to record credits accurately on homeschool transcripts. Through real-life examples and a clear decision framework, you’ll learn how to match each pathway to your student’s academic strengths, learning style, and career goals. Whether you’re preparing a teen for competitive college admission, aiming to save on tuition, or seeking flexible options during military moves, this session will equip you to plan with confidence and strategy.

HIGH SCHOOL TRANSCRIPT CLINIC: PRACTICAL HELP & TIPS

A transcript is a vital part of your teen’s high school records. In this interactive, practical seminar, you’ll create a transcript that can be used as a template when designing your own. The session will guide you through the how-to of transcripts, evaluating credit, and calculating grade point averages (GPAs).

CONFERENCE TALK:
MOTIVATING THE RELUCTANT LEARNER

Could you use some encouragement and strategies to help reignite your student’s love of learning? If so, this session is for you! There are many factors that impact a child’s motivation level-stress, executive function, nutritional needs, media usage, and more. With a little bit of theory and a whole lot of practical application, Rochelle equips parents with the tools they need to tap into their child’s God-given gift of curiosity.

TEACHING STRUGGLING LEARNERS AT HOME: NUTS & BOLTS FOR SUCCESS

This workshop offers practical resources, lists of materials, and curricula ideas to equip you as you homeschool a struggling learner. Rochelle presents ideas for designing a unique home instruction program tailored to your child's specific challenges. She also addresses homeschooling while working, teaching multiple ages, scheduling the day, and practical teaching strategies you can use regardless of your curriculum program. Finally, Rochelle explains multi-sensory teaching methods, direct instruction, and modeled teaching.
