Education Freedom
Welcome. I'm a long term home educator who is looking to support those on the journey towards freeing themselves from the schooling system, and creating a unique educational experience for their family.
I'm currently in my 18th year home educating and my specialties are Child led and Steiner based education, and I am strong believer in the idea that there are many ways to educate our children, and that parents need to work out their own unique pathway,for their family.

Maths
Two of our preferred curricula for maths are Life of Fred.

And JUMP maths.

In our early years of home educating (DD23 was in year 4) we came across a book by John Mighton called "The Myth of Ability". That book totally transformed how I taught my children maths, and my own relationship with it. It was a key deschooling moment for me, as I came to understand that so many maths teachers are really very average, because they are good at maths, and have not had to understand it's intricacies to explain it to a child.
