This podcast will empower you to take control of your children's education, help you create a personalized learning experience that uplifts and nurtures your children inside and out, and will help you maximize quality time and embrace this learning journey together as a family. Hi, I’m Elan: a proud Spelman College alumna, a wife and a working homeschool mom of 2. But before homeschooling became our way of life, I looked into every type of school imaginable for my girls. I simply couldn’t find a traditional learning environment that truly met their needs. I tried small private schools, specialty charter schools, and I researched all the public schools near me that boasted the best test scores. But I finally realized that if I wanted the personalized learning for my kids that would affirm them and allow them to dive deeper into their natural interests and passions, then I would have to take control of their education and completely reimagine what school could look like for my family. I had to start somewhere though. So I implemented a simple, five-step framework that allowed me to create the learning environment that would allow my kids to step into their full potential, all while balancing my roles as a working homeschool mom. And I’m sharing that framework with you! So if you’re ready to take control and create a homeschool experience… Tailored to your children's learning needs… Connected with other homeschool families of color… All while spending more quality time together as a family - then this is the podcast for you! So pop in those ear buds because it’s time to do Homeschool Our Way.
