Think Differently about Learning: A Homeschool Where Children and Parents Thrive

Children deserve more than the systems we're currently using to educate them. Hardworking teachers, diligent administrators, and devoted parents are trying their best in an outdated system that isn't meeting our children's complex needs.

Instead, imagine a different way to learn.

In this book, Angela and Maren pair their years of teaching in a variety of different schools with their years of homeschooling their combined seven children. As they know first-hand, any parent, child, or family can thrive as they unlearn old ways, lean into their own strengths, and celebrate unconventional wins.
This book will give you the blueprint to let go of traditional measures of success and instead measure learning by curiosity, joy, interest, self-regulation, and critical thinking. It's for traditional school families who are learning to balance outer expectations with their own needs with a different way of learning. It is for homeschool families who are looking for a more inclusive, supportive, and authentic approach.
