Embracing Ethnic Diversity in Homeschooling:
A Conversation

More families are homeschooling than ever before. As the homeschooling community grows, it is also becoming more diverse. Families are coming from different ethnic, racial, and linguistic backgrounds. They have unique experiences and goals for home education. In order for NCHE to help all families homeschool with confidence and joy, we want to welcome all kinds of families into our community and work to understand and address the unique needs they may be facing.

The purpose of this webinar is to put out the welcome mat and understand these unique needs. Matthew McDill, NCHE’s executive director, talks with Te’Essence Mack and Luz Velázquez, two homeschool moms from different ethnic backgrounds.
