They’ve always been educated outside of traditional “school” settings. We lean towards unschooling and have, some years, had other kids join our adventure. We’ve been active with West Texas Homeschool Co-op/Open Skies, where I quickly moved into leadership, eventually becoming a co-director of the program. Before that, I taught in public schools in a variety of subjects, was active in campus leadership, and ran the High Adventure program at Buffalo Trail Scout Ranch. My formal education includes a BS in Recreation, Park, and Tourism Sciences with specialization in Outdoor Education as well as Teaching Certificates for K-4, 4th-8th, and all level Special Education. My informal education includes being a voracious reader and researcher of educational literature and human behavior. Personally, I love to be active, which at this time includes roller skating, Taekwondo, and trying to keep the chaos of my house at bay. Kristy
I am a homeschooling mom with 7 years of experience. I have 3 great kids Kassie (14), Audrey (11), and Lucas (10). I originally chose to start homeschooling because I was disappointed with how public school worked for Kassie, but now homeschooling is our lifestyle. In the beginning of my homeschooling journey, I went through a divorce and spent several years as a single mom homeschooling all three kids while holding down a high demand full time job. My job experiences have shaped my life and left me with a diverse knowledge on numerous subjects, everything from dog breeds, surgery, roller skating, art, house cleaning, education and so much more. I have owned multiple small businesses including dog grooming and professional housekeeping. I also have managed larger business’ including Claire’s for 2 years and KC’s Nutty Roller for 11 years. In my spare time I have taught painting classes and skating classes. I love everything purple, skating, and my sweet puppy Corri. US
