8:30 to 9:30 A. M. Friday
Diana
Waring-- Box Free Living.
|
Rather than raising children to follow formulas, let us teach them
using the principles of discipleship, and then have them "follow me as I follow Christ." And, rather than trying
to force your homeschooling to look like someone else's, let's learn to hear from the Lord just what is best for your
own family. Instead of falling victim to preconceived judgments from ourselves or from others, let's learn to find God's
way for us in this homeschooling journey. |
Patrick Nurre -- Genesis and the So-Called Ice Age.
|
One of the most confusing issues for a person believing a straightforward
reading of the Book of Genesis is the Ice Age. Yes, there is an abundance of evidence for sort of an ice age at one time in
the past. But the difficult part of fitting the pieces together geologically is where it fits with the Biblical chronology
- a short chronology at that! This seminar will help you unravel the mystery of such things as glaciers, wooly mammoths and
the Genesis Flood - subjects that have been the catalyst for many people rejecting faith in the Scriptures.
|
Janice Price -- Math Wars. * |
|
Sequential or spiral? All American or foreign flavor? What about manipulatives?
Just thinking through the choices can derail your homeschool planning. Rainbow Resource's curriculum specialist provides
an overview of many of the various math programs available and helps to identify the factors that will determine a successful
choice for your child.
|
Deana Haines -- Home Education Organization and Time
Management
|
Deana will share ways she was able to home educate
her four children, hold a state leadership position, serve in her church and work from home, while still maintaining her sanity.
She will encourage the attendee to rely on the Lord's leadership when choosing what to add and to subtract from their
schedules. She will also share the importance of flexibility when juggling so many plates.
|
Todd Wilson -- Dream Big. |
As long as there have been dreams, there have been dream killers. We've
all encountered candle snuffers, bubble busters, and wet blankets. They're the ones who constantly remind you why you
shouldn't homeschool, have more children, be a stay at home mom, or take that step of faith you believe God would have
you take. The world is filled with dream killers. They grew up with you, they live in your house, and sometimes they are--you.
Their intentions may be good, but if you listen to them, you will miss out on God's best for your life. Join Todd as he
helps you revive old dreams, gives you weapons to battle dream killers, and urges you to throw caution to the wind and set
sail for the adventure of a lifetime.
|
Dr. Paul Cates, Ken Schmidt, Dr. Matthew
Worth, Dr Stephen Guffanti -- Ask the Learning
Disabilities Specialists
|
Not even
sure which seminars to attend? Really don’t know what your child’s “issues” are or if there are any
at all? Do you have questions about Learning Disabilities? Reading problems? Attention? Now is your chance to
get answers! Dr. Cates, Dr. Worth, Dr. Guffanti, and Mr. Schmidt will be here to answer any questions that you might
have on your children and possible learning difficulties. This session is not intended to take the place of diagnostic
testing, but it might be a starting point for getting help!
|
Carrie Salyer, Lisa Cooseman -- What is Sensory Processing?
|
Sensory Processing is a neurological process that occurs in every
nervous system. It helps us learn about our bodies and the world around us. When an individual has inefficient
sensory processing, then daily life activities can become challenging. Activities such as sitting to pay attention,
writing, reading, interacting, and playing gross motor games, are affected by the nervous system's ability to process
sensory information. This seminar will define sensory processing and discuss signs of Sensory Processing Disorder. |
|
Jaime Poston -- Speech Therapy
|
Does your child say some letter sounds incorrectly?
Does speaking seem to be difficult? Is there improvement over time? Do the patterns stay the same? Are you wondering if your
child would benefit from speech therapy? Are you even sure what speech therapy is? Leaps and Bounds Speech Therapist, Jaime,
will be in the Special Needs Area to answer any questions you may have about speech therapy.
|

Barry Stebbing -- Keeping an Art Journal.
|
|
An excellent workshop for both teenagers and parents!
Barry Stebbing has personally completed over 35 art journals during his lifetime and emphasizes the importance of journaling
in homeschooling education. Mr. Stebbing strongly encourages students to practice good penmanship, believing that it is a
dying art. Journaling can be a wonderful catalyst for improving one's writing skills, along with good penmanship, and
is also an enriching supplement in nurturing drawing, studying from "life," working independently, and developing
creativity. Finally, a completed journal can become a precious heirloom. Specifics for keeping a journal will be discussed
as: how to begin a journal, recommended materials, themes, format, correcting mistakes, and much more. The workshop also includes
a 15 minute slide presentation, drawing demonstration, overviews, and inspiring classical music.
|
|
Panel of Local College Representatives -- Dual Enrollment.
|
| |
|
Carlita
Boyles -- Fearfully and Wonderfully Made, The Role of Maturation in Math.
|
|
Each child is created by God to be unique. It is easy to see individuality
in physical development, but sometimes it's harder to be aware of the unique pace of each child's mental development.
Are you teaching a child who doesn't seem to fit the "typical" mold? Or were you a child whose maturation didn't
match the textbook pace? This seminar looks at how maturation affects the ability to understand math concepts, and suggests
ways to modify your teaching approach in order to provide more success and less stress in math.
|

on the many and varied benefits for the home school graduate.
|
|

your child’s understanding of what he reads. This talk will teach you a practical, step-by-step approach
to developing and remediating reading comprehension, with additional application to language comprehension.
|
Carrie Salyer, Lisa Cooseman

and activities that can be incorporated into your daily routines and lessons. These strategies will help
your child organize his nervous system to promote learning and other daily activities.
|
Patty Yager -- What Can I do
to get my Child to Do His Schoolwork?
|
The Bible says “Whatever you do, do heartily as for the Lord…”
Col.3:23 . Is it really possible to train our children to do this? Do you have a child who won’t do his work? Is there
complaining? Does it seem impossible to get your child to do his schoolwork or chores? Much less cheerfully? Are
you tired of asking? Begging? Pleading? Threatening? And then just letting it slide? Or maybe even doing it yourself? Come
learn some hands-on ideas from veteran home schooler, Patty Yager, for helping children to learn to work cheerfully.
|

impact on health, behavior and learning. It will also cover how you can detect food allergies and how you can treat
them. Dr. Davis will include case studies of children who have been impacted by food allergies but then benefited from
detection and treatment.
|
|
|
11:30 A.M. to 12:30 P. M. Friday
Ken Schmidt -- Beyond
Grunt and Spit, When Phonics is Not Enough. *
|
|
Phonics instruction has
been critiqued as the teaching of “Grunt and Spit” techniques. Although thinking people understand
that phonics is crucial to the development of reading and spelling, there is a grain of truth to the criticism.
Words don’t always play fair, and phonics sometimes comes up short. This talk will teach you practical steps
for developing true reading and spelling fluency by strengthening symbol imagery.
|
|
Carrie Salyer -- Therapeutic Listening
|
Does your child have trouble understanding verbal directions? Does
your child seem unusually disorganized? Learn about this relatively inexpensive auditory therapy that has helped so many with
their listening skills, motor coordination, sound sensitivity, attention and sensory processing skills.
|
|
Carlita Boyles -- Math and Memory
|
Do you find yourself continuously re-teaching Math concepts to children
who can't seem to remember what you thought they had just mastered? In this workshop, we'll look at how we memorize
information and learn strategies for improving memory retention.
|
|
Dr. Paul Cates -- ADD/ADHD Research?
|
|
This seminar will briefly mention the two treatments of ADHD, the use of
medications(s) and behavior modification and will then talk about a new treatment plan called the ICP or Individual Cognitive
Plan. Discussion will focus on individually teaching children with ADHD with and without medication and their differences
in progress after one year and three years. Discussion will also focus on changes in cognitive functioning, intellectual
functioning and academic functioning. This talk is based on onver 36 years of working with children with ADHD and special
needs.
|
|
|
1:00 to 2:00 P. M. Friday
|
Todd Wilson -- Lies Homeschooling Moms Believe.
|
Your
house is a disaster, your kids seem out of control, and you wonder how you'll ever make it through another day of homeschool.
Your "get up and go" has "gotten up and went." You used to think homeschooling was the best thing since
sliced bread, but now you're feeling like burnt toast. Take heart--you're not alone. No one homeschools because it's
easy. You do it because you believe it's best. But there are times when you need to be reminded once again why it's
best. Join me as we do just that. You'll laugh and be encouraged in the toughest job you'll ever--love. |
|
Paul and Kirk Cates -- ADD/ADHD/LD Processing.
|
What is it? Is it real? Does your child have it? Will your child
outgrow it? What is a processing problem, and if my child has one, does he also have ADD? What if I do nothing about the problems
my child is having in learning? What about learning disabilities, ODD, Tourette's, Bi-Polar, Epilepsy. There will be a
real opportunity to ask questions and have a dialog with the speakers. |

Stength, Poor Posture, and Low Muscle Tone in the Struggling Learner
|
Does your child stand up straight or
seem to rest on his or her spine. How is that head posture? Come and learn how posture is really related to neurological
function and not just to “weak muscles” or a “lazy child” and how it can be related to learning problems

|
|
Mary Sullivan -- Problems with Handwriting 1, What Causes it?
|
|
Does your child put up a fight when it comes to writing answers to assignments?
Do you dread assigning written work? There may be a real reason for your child's reluctance. Reasons could
include visual perceptual difficulties, problems learning how to draw letters, inadequate grasp or prehension skills, and/or
difficulty attending to task. This workshop will describe possible explanations for your child's handwriting struggle.
|
|
Patty Yager -- Video Game and Television Addiction

and its affect on our children's ability to learn. Hands-on strategies for what do to if you find yourself in this dilemma
will be covered.
|
|
Dr. Doell -- Vision and Learning
|
|
It has been estimated that up to 80% of learning originates with information
derived from the visual system. Proper visual function begins with the visual intake, or retrieval skills which include a
clear image, stable and appropriate focusing, adequate eye teaming, and efficient eye movements. Once visual information is
delivered to the brain, it must be processed effectively. Visual processing includes such perceptual skills as visual memory,
visual discrimination, visual form constancy, and visual closure. Developmental optometrists provide a mechanism for evaluating
and enhancing these retrieval and processing skills. A general survey of testing and remediation of visual deficits
will be presented, including an introduction to interventions for encouraging the development of these skill areas with home
activities and in-office vision therapy.
|
|
|
2:30 to 3:30 P. M. Friday
|
Steve
Demme -- Finding Hope and Redemption in the Valleys of Life.
|
|
This workshop is Steve's testimony of the last twenty years as the father
of a child with special needs. he shares what his family has learned as a result of Johnny's disability, and the special,
rewarding, and joyful role he has played in their lives. Even in the difficult experiences of life, God proved faithful. His
grace sustained them and brought good out of their struggles and disappointments.
|
|
Barry Stebbing -- How to Teach ART for the Easily Intimidated.
|
Throughout the years, this has been Mr. Stebbing's most popular workshop.
A vast majority of parents who are concerned about teaching their children art lack the confidence and ability to pursue such
a course. Mr. Stebbing offers specific guidelines for teaching art at home such as purchasing a curriculum, structuring various
courses in art, student frustration, teaching the fundamentals, understanding learning objectives, art history, and much more.
The workshop includes a twenty minute slide presentation (showing recommended materials and student examples) along with a
ten minute drawing demonstration (manifesting the importance of fundamentals), a ten minute overview, and a wonderful closing
with classical music and more visuals. This workshop is both inspiring and informative.
|
|
Paul and Kirk Cates -- Curriculum, It Is the Fit that Counts.
|
Some of the topics covered will be: Having a "Home School Program"
instead of a regular school program in your home. Curriculum to teach science in grades 2 - 8 together. Use of manipulative
in the teaching of math. What do those achievement test scores really mean? Understanding independent, instructional, and
frustration levels. Help for you child with special needs. Developing your child's talents. Developing a good reading
program. Developing a solid language arts program. Developing thinking skills for your children. Discussing new materials
available.

and ideas along with an overview of the earth from the inside out. You'll even get with your very own wet wipe--and an
outline for a short unit study!
|
|
Bill McDonald -- Better Late than Early
|
|
Given the incredible number of curricular options facing today's homeschooling
families, it's very important to give some careful thought to your educational philosophy-the goals you want your homeschool
to accomplish and the approaches you intend to use to accomplish these ends. One very famous educational philosophy, espoused
by homeschooling pioneers Dr. Raymond and Dorothy Moore, was summarized in the simple idea of "Better Late than Early."
Bill will expose his audience to the advantages of a lower-key homeschooling style as an alternative to the highly structured
(and expensive) pre-packaged approaches currently marketed at book fairs and seminars across the country. Sit in as these
veteran homeschool parents share how they were able to manage superior academic results without huge disruptions to their
family life, budget or time. It isn't necessary to replicate a miniature version of a mass educational institution in
your home. Don't trade the inherent advantages of one-on-one instruction for charts, graphic aids, textbooks and schoolrooms.
Keep it simple and you'll get the results you want without losing your (or your children's) minds!

St. Louis Teens for Christ -- Bible Quizzing Demonstration.
|
How do you motivate young people to spend HOURS memorizing HUNDREDS of
Bible verses? Offer them a fun, competitive activity that they just can't resist! St. Louis Teens for Christ Bible Quizzing
does just that. We've been quizzing for over 20 years and have seen the program grow from a handful of kids and adults
to over 100 quizzers and adult volunteers. Quizzers love the competition and socialization, and winning trophies is really
exciting! But nothing compares to the living and active Word of God making a difference in the lives of young people every
day through Bible Quizzing. Many of the coaches and staff have been serving in Bible Quizzing and youth ministry for a number
of years. Some of them are "retired" quizzers who now see this as an opportunity for Christian ministry. All the
volunteers love young people, and they love Bible Quizzing! They are here to make sure your kids have a positive, enriching
experience in a family-friendly environment. To find out more about St. Louis Teens for Christ Bible Quizzing, go to www.sltfc.org

|
Mary Sullivan -- Problems with Handwriting 2, What Can I do? |
|
My child seems to have trouble recognizing letters and numbers. Should
I worry? My child seems to recognize letters, but he won't print them. What's going on? My child
looks like he is strangling the pencil when he holds it. Is that okay? My child has great stories in his head,
but is so reluctant to put them on paper. Should I settle for less? My child can hardly sit still. He even stands
up to eat dinner or do school work. Should I let him? In this workshop, we'll put our heads together and talk
about some of the strategies for these dilemmas.
|
Patty Yager -- Love, Behaviors and Consequences |

and prayer. The second half of this talk will focus on specific consequences for specific behaviors that lead to positive
results.

Dr. Stephen Guffanti -- ADHD vs. Kinesthetic Learner: Which is it?
Part 1
|
|
Know someone who moves too much or doesn't seem to pay attention? This
is the workshop for you. Dr. Guffanti will bring you into the heart and mind of the ADHD child. Learning styles filter the
details people see and their interaction with others. You will experience the world as a kinesthetic learner does, discover
how IQ and other tests don't effectively test kinesthetic learners, and why they are often misdiagnosed. You will experience
both laughter and tears, but most of all, you will develop a deep understanding. Understand your child -- and possibly your
spouse -- better!
|
|
|
4:00 to 5:00 P. M. Friday
|
Diana Waring -- Actively
ENGAGE Learning and Actually ENJOY Learning!
|
One of the biggest questions people ask is, "How do I get my kids to finish
their school work?" The deeper question is actually, "How do I get my kids to be self-motivated?" We will examine
the answers to these critical questions, and look at specific ways to encourage and assist our children in developing ownership
of their education. Yagottahaveagottawanna is the attitude we want our children to catch, but we must learn the proper approach
that will allow them to catch it! That means we must learn the critical difference between controlling and directing; between
pushing and releasing; between coercing and facilitating. It is the essense of a master teacher who says, "I cannot teach
you how to do it, but I can help you learn to do it." This is an interactive and practical workshop that you can put
to use immediately!
|
|
Patrick Nurre -- Fossils and
the Flood.
|
Stretched across thousands of square miles of many parts of the United
States are huge deposits of fossils which defy a secular geological explanation. Such things as fossil crocodiles and palm
trees in Wyoming, fossil mammoths in South Dakota and abundant fossil sea life across much of Indiana and Ohio baffle the
imagination. But the Genesis Flood provides the perfect explanation for these and other fossil mysteries. This seminar will
help you answer some of those tough fossil arguments raised against our faith in the Scriptures.
|
|
Mike and Ronda Marshall -- I'm
Worn-Out, Going Crazy, and Making My Kids Stupid. Would Somebody Please Help?!

|
Todd Wilson -- Will the "Real" Homeschooler Please Stand Up!
|
Are you convinced that every homeschooling family except yours is great?
Do you believe the lie that others are more organized, better prepared, have smarter kids, are wiser parents, and have a child
in the national spelling bee? Well, let me set the record straight. That's not the way it is! The truth is most moms feel
inadequate. Homeschooling moms fear that they're letting their kids down in their education and in example. They feel
like their house is out of control, their children are beasts, and the sizzle has left their marriage. Join us as we demonstrate
the power in being REAL.
