nicklepede Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 This may be somewhat a goofy question, but our family just moved for my husband's job and the relocation package included funds for job training or education for the spouse in the new area. My husband told them that I didn't have an external job per se, but that I homeschool and would teacher training and education material count for reimbursement and they said yeah, sure, why not. Heh. So, I've been trying to figure out if there's anything that's been on my wish list that might qualify as teacher training. IEW TWSS seemed like it would be a pretty obvious choice. And I could perhaps even get some Great Courses dvds in subjects I'll be teaching. Honestly, it's a fantastic opportunity, but at the moment I'm at a bit of a loss at what would qualify for the spirit of the intention of dispersement. (Though they didn't seem overly concerned about that on their end, so who knows.) Any thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crimson Wife Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 I would LOVE to attend one of the summer training institutes for Singapore Math that Worcester State University runs. There are also online webinars here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are also online webinars here. Ooh, I went to the MSMI Saturdays when we lived in MN and they were very eye-opening. Turns out I was teaching Singapore all wrong. (Though, after talking to so many folks, it turns out that I surely have not been the only one.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erica in OR Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 Maybe any homeschool conferences you were interested in attending? The Great Courses DVDs sound like a good idea. Erica in OR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hunter Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 Spalding actually has teacher training courses for WRTR. Professor B math is very teacher intensive. Waldorf is also very teacher intensive. There are teacher training DVDs and books. The Principle Approach is very teacher intensive and there are teacher training resources. TWTM had teacher training resources. :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
