Lifestyle

abstract problems built on the same principles.The workshop will give an overview of

Grades K-9.The information you will gain

the family? Does school only consist of
school books on top of more school books?

veteran and mother of 12, show you how to
add another dimension to your “educational
package” – field trips, hands-on learning, real
books – are all part of the educational experience we should want for our students.

Wonder Years or Thunder Years?
Reaching the Heart of Your Middle
Schooler
Room A
The Middle School years are becoming
known as sort of the “Devil’s Triangle” in our
American culture.These years are pivotal as
our kids further define who they are and set
the course for their lives as teenagers and
young adults. As homeschooling parents, we
have a definite advantage in raising our
‘tweenagers outside the daily barrage of peer
pressure, but that doesn’t guarantee smooth
sailing on the choppy waters of adolescence.
Join Rebecca Powell of Preparing the Way
Ministries to learn how to guard against the
dangers lurking in these ‘tween and early
teen years by focusing your parenting on
three essential Christian virtues.

can’t, Mom! I don’t want to write!” Come

model of what the finished product should
contain and gives you an objective method
of evaluating their work. Finding that you can
use this program with any grade student, you

“Yes, I can teach writing!”

fun, doable, and it works! That’s right – you

Algebra stuff?”, then this seminar is for you!

will develop the concept of experimentation
by defining science, examining the goal of science education, and outlining the basics of a

covered in the lecture.

Benefits of Post Secondary Education
Room A
Austin Peay State University

yourself:What am I going to do after I finish
high school? Am I going to work? Am I going
to go on to college or vocational school?
What major will I pick when I get there? Will
I be successful? This workshop will discuss
items like the benefits of higher education in
regards to pay, advancement, and opportunities. Along with giving tips on college, we will

them if you are in full-time school. Are you
unsure in what area you want to work? We
will discuss career inventories and how they
can help you pick a major, too.We are going
to be talking about other higher education
matters so if this sounds beneficial to you,

Introduction to Evolution:

Basic Evolutionary Concepts and Their
Place in Christian doctrine and education
Evolution is the mainstream scientific perspective in current debates over public policy, biology education, and the public’s view
of science. But what is evolution? And why
has it become the backbone of biology?
Does evolution affect Christian doctrine?
What is the place of evolutionary theory
within Christian education? This session
attempts to answer these and other questions concerning one of the most controversial subjects in America.

Our Worldview Classes and the Virtual
Classroom Experience

unique virtual classroom delivery system that
allows students and teachers to hear, see,
and interact with each other in live sessions

provide an opportunity for each attendee to
try out the virtual classroom and get a
hands-on experience! We will explain how
our Christian worldview has the only
answers to the profound questions every
civilization asks about God, His creation,
man, morality, and government. Such an integrated study of history, literature, and the
arts will give a student a profound understanding of the world from their Biblical
view.This workshop will help parents and
students to explore what these classes
involve and determine if this type of learning
experience would be right for their individual needs.
Creationism as Doctrine and Science:
Integrating Doctrine into Education
Room D
Christians are under increasing pressure to
accept modern evolutionary theory and set
aside a straightforward interpretation of
Genesis. But what does it matter? Is the
Biblical account of creation important to
one’s theology and worldview? How should
educators and students approach evolution
and creation? This session will tackle these
and other questions from a Biblical perspective.

Creating a Sense of Wonder

homeschool so they can teach their children

academics. God and His Word need to be at
the center of all of our homeschool studies.

your Bible, science, history, art, and creative
writing in God, who created everything.
Charlene is the author of Creating a Sense
of Wonder, a unit study about Creation.
