The Creative Learning Center

It’s your homeschool, but using my resources!

Do you want another option for education that includes independent studies, mentoring, creative pursuits, volunteer opportunities, peer leadership, and entrepreneurial exposure? These are at the heart of the Creative Learning Center!

I utilize a developmentalist approach to education based on sound brain research and how each stage learns. Every week, attendees will

  • pursue independent studies specifically created for them
  • explore creative pursuits from music to art to building (the skies the limit)
  • learn from an outside mentor who will share his/her passion in various fields of interest
  •  develop skills to share their interests with their peers
  • impact their communities and world through volunteer opportunities
  • nurture their connection to the outdoors and animals
  • strengthen their emotional and social skills from direct mentoring

As parent collaborators, you will receive a daily journal entry about your child(ren)’s experiences at the Creative Learning Center every week. I always welcome insights and feedback from you to foster the best outcome in nurturing each attendee to find their purpose and passion in life.

 

 

 

Education Consulting Services

I share my experiences and ideas in many places and venues, but it’s sometimes nice to have a personalized focus session just on your own situation. Now it’s possible through my education consultation service program.

Are you looking for support for:

When choosing a treatment, remember to consult with a unica-web.com viagra no prescription medical professional if you have any concerns.

  • right-brained learners
  • homeschooling/unschooling
  • learning disabilities (ADD, dyslexia, twice exceptional, etc.)
  • giftedness
  • autism
  • adoption issues (RAD, adjusting, etc.)
  • mental health disorders (bipolar, anxiety, depression, etc.)

I have been providing consultation services since 2013. Prior to doing private services, I created and facilitated group mentoring through two active yahoo groups (aut-home-fam in 1999 and homeschoolingcreatively in 2006) until I phased over to FB groups in 2013.

Let me help!

 

 

Writings and Presentations

There’s an epidemic of diagnosing learning disabilities today. I believe it signals a mismatch between the learning needs of right-brained children and the educational environment in most schools. “Creative learners have amazing strengths that emerge when they are placed in an appropriate setting.” Too many children are shamed for the very traits that define who they are. This book helps parents and teachers stop trying to fit right-brained learners into a left-brained mold, and instead create space for them to flourish. The difference between my book and most others is that I was able to offer a unique, unbiased environment in which seven right-brained children revealed to me a right-brained dominant learner’s natural scope and sequence. See my most popular post that explains it best here. My writings include:

  • Published in Home Education Magazine, Growing Without Schooling and finally offering my own successful book, The Right Side of Normal: Understanding and Honoring the Natural Learning Path for Right-Brained Children (endorsed by top educational professionals).
  • Produced original educational articles on her personal blog, Applestars, from 2006-2013, on the group block, Life Without School from 2006-2009, and on her own website, The Right Side of Normal since 2012 to current.

I have also offered a variety of conference workshop topics as a popular speaker every year since 2000, attending three to five a year. Previous to this was participating at a state education conference as a presenter in 1997, co-hosting the creation of a local conference in 1997-98, and appearing on television and radio in the same years. Here is access to my most popular workshop that was presented at an on-line conference. Feel free to contact me to schedule me as a speaker or to see the types of workshop presentations I have given.
