 Cathy Duffy This years talk: "Choosing curriculum
to fit each child - Identifying and Applying learning styles " Synopsis:
Having problems with uncooperative learners? Do you feel like your curriculum
is as much hindrance as help? What about all those publishers who claim
to have the best curriculum? How can we sort through all of this to figure
out what will really be best for each of our children? Understanding learning
styles helps us overcome many of the problems we encounter in home education.
In this session we will first identify our own learning styles and those
of our children. Then we will discuss methods of teaching to our children’s
strengths and overcoming weaknesses using examples from various math programs.
