Schoolhouse Rocked: The Homeschool Revolution

So often, we talk to, and about, moms regarding homeschooling, but what about the role of HOMESCHOOL DADS?  Do some dads homeschool? Does dad's opinion matter? How can dad be involved? How can dad support mom? How can mom support dad? How can, and should, dad lead his family spiritually?
Join Yvette Hampton as she discusses these things with Kevin Swanson, homeschool dad of 5 kids and Director of Generations – a ministry he founded to strengthen homeschool families around the country.

Rachael Carman had it going on—or so she thought. After surviving sixty-three months of pregnancy, countless sleepless nights, and 35,000+ diapers, this one-time control freak encountered God’s grace. And she encourages you to do the same! 
In her books How Many Times Do I Have to Tell You? and How to Have a HEART for Your Kids, Rachael challenges mothers to surrender their will and draw closer to their heavenly Father. She invites moms to join her in loving God passionately and worshiping him fully while sweeping up Cheerios, doing laundry, and planning dinner. You will be affirmed in your role as a mother as Rachael speaks of her struggles with perfectionism and impatience and shares her challenges, failures, and victories amid the ever-changing seasons of life. Her honesty will surprise you, and her humor will put you at ease. 
Rachael is not only a respected author but is also a sought-after speaker. She has been a speaker in over thirty states and seven countries. 
She has been married to her husband, Davis, since 1986. They have seven kids with whom they love to laugh. Together, their life has been a roller-coaster ride, with God at the controls. Rachael enjoys playing in the dirt, eating dark chocolate, and walking on the beach. She and Davis are the owners of Apologia Educational Ministries.
You can find Rachael online at www.RachaelCarman.com.
You can listen to her on the Let’s Talk Homeschool Podcast.

Blumenfeld Foundation for Literacy.
