Provide customized homeschool instruction for your children
As a veteran homeschooler and learning design expert, I help homeschoolers create individualized, learner-centered courses and unit studies that get results by engaging children with approaches that fit them best, instilling a life-long love of learning.
Presenting the Summit-First Framework
Summit-First Framework
The Summit-First Framework is based on proven learning science principles. The key is starting with the end goal (the summit) in mind.
Instead of presenting everything there is to know about a topic, you start at the summit: What is it that learners need to be able to demonstrate when they have completed the course?
Why you need the Summit-First Framework for homeschooling
Individualized Instruction
You can teach any subject using content tailored to your children's specific interests and needs.
Use the easy-to-follow Summit-First Framework to prepare lessons that:
- Motivate your child
- Rely on original sources instead of information someone else curated
- Align with your values
- Meet accessibility needs of your child
- Engender critical thinking
Learner success
It’s not enough to just give children content and resources. We need to organize and present the content in such a way that it engages learners so they reach the desired summit goals.
Crafting individualized courses for your children allows you to provide a variety of enriched materials, preparing them for lifelong learning success from sources other than pre-formatted textbooks.
With the Summit-First Framework, you have the guidance you need to present content in ways that foster your children's success. You'll learn how to verify you are covering the necessary content.
Lifelong Love of Learning
Building around topics or activities your children already love like baseball, unicorns, or Harry Potter, they see how learning is integrated into their everyday interests and lives.
Even more important than the content you teach is showing your children how to learn - learning to learn - using a wide variety of resources.
The Summit-First Framework guides you in creating quality courses your children love using proven learning science principles.
