A Better Way to Homeschool

Education EN ↓ 30 episodes

Informal, unedited, love filled chats about homeschool and life. After 25 years of homeschooling five sons and mentoring dozens and dozens of homeschool families, we've learned a thing or two about life-long learning. Whether you are brand new to homeschooling, a long-time veteran, or are simply poking around to see what this "teaching your kids at home" is all about, there's something for you here. Bekki and Craig Sayler are founders of https://abetterwaytohomeschool.com/ a widely recognized hub of resources and encouragement for homeschool families.
