Justin from WTM Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 Hi all, I knew you'd want to know that we're offering two brand-new audio lectures by Susan Wise Bauer, recorded at homeschooling conferences: Burning Out: Why it Happens and What to do About it Every home school family finds itself in the doldrums occasionally. But when the doldrums last for weeks or months, it’s time to consider the possibility of burnout. In this seminar--drawn from years of personal experience with effective home education and burnout--Susan defines burnout, investigates the elements that make burnout more likely, and offers a series of practical, experience-tested suggestions for moving forward. and What is History? How and Why Should I Teach It? Choosing the right program isn’t the first step in teaching history to your students. Before you can make informed decisions about what curricula to use, you need to understand why you’re teaching history at all--and define what your student should be gaining from it. This seminar will explain what history actually is (you might be surprised!), survey different methods and approaches for teaching, and suggest appropriate goals for elementary, middle-grade, and high school students. Both are now available as MP3 downloads, along with all of our other lectures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scuff Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 Just listened to the burn our recording from Cincinnati. Awesome! The stuff she said about never meeting our ideals for our important work was brilliant and had me in tears. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FloridaLisa Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 Very interested to hear the one on burnout. I see more burnout as the older kids are graduated and there are still some/many years of homeschooling to do. How to reinvigorate and still meet the same high ideals that we started out with when we had all that youth and energy? Thank you for addressing it and releasing the audio.

MelAR05 Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 I just listened to the lecture on burnout. It was very timely for me. The part about wanting to just be their mom and play with them really hit home for me. Thank you for addressing this! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aelgraham Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 I was hoping the power point for the Burnout talk would include the photos of her kids that she references! :001_smile: 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest lungrenacademy Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 I just finished listening to SWB's workshop "Science in Classical Curriculum" and LOVED it! I've been looking everywhere for the handouts (on Workshops and Handouts page, etc.) and can't find them, can anyone direct me to where they are? Thanks for making these workshops available! Looking forward to more in the future! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
