Whether children are in public school, private school or home school, parents and caregivers are always looking for fresh and fun ways to spark life into their kids’ educational experiences.

Catherine Levison, bestselling author and nationally acclaimed speaker to parenting and educational audiences throughout the United States and Canada, will be bringing her popular All-Day Educational How-to Workshop to White River Presbyterian Church in Auburn on Sept. 20.

Pre-registration by Sept. 10 is required (although late registrations will be considered if space allows), and a free lunch will provided by the hosting church to all pre-registered attendees.

It’s been more than six years since Levison has presented a live seminar in the Puget Sound region, so this is a rare opportunity to see this dynamic speaker in person. Levison’s all-day workshop is based on her extensive research into the teaching methods and educational philosophies of Charlotte Mason, a British educator from the last century whose techniques are currently receiving renewed interested, especially in American private and home schools.

“Homeschooling and parenting are intertwined in such a way that they can hardly be seen as separate concepts,” Levison said. “As one overlaps with the other, we find that all parents are home educators to some degree.”

Some of the topics to be covered at this special all day event are: An overview of the Charlotte Mason method, narration, literature, art appreciation, formation of good habits, history, science, nature study, scheduling, book selection, and language arts (including foreign languages, composition, handwriting, poetry, spelling and dictation).
