Navigating the Curriculum Jungle with Confidence and Joy
por spencer mason | 1 de junio de 2019
Don’t get stressed walking through the vendor hall! Unit studies, classical, traditional, unschooling, relaxed, eclectic—what are all of these approaches to homeschooling, anyway? How is a parent to choose? “I bought the wrong curriculum.” “It’s not working.” “I hate it!” “My friend says that other curriculum is the one.” What do I do? We’ll try to demystify the curriculum jungle and equip you to find the best pathway through it for you and your family—and to enjoy the process!
Marji McIlvaine and husband, Rick, homeschooled for 26 years in 4 states and are now officially retired as homeschool parents. All 6 of their children have graduated from their homeschool, half are college graduates or students or working. Marji’s heart is to encourage other parents in the homeschool journey. She served on the board of Henderson County Homeschool Association for 20 years, administers the Woodcock-Johnson test in WNC, and teaches homeschoolers online and in-person with Master’s Mark Academics, Luma Learn, BBC tutorials and Classical Scholars Tutorials.

She has a passion for foreign languages, science, writing, history and, oh, the whole of God’s incredible creation, and for sharing the joy in those subjects with her own children and others in our homeschooling community.
