Homeschooling during Pandemic – Merissa Turner

Creating the right conditions for learning and for parenting to become easy

Many of us are navigating uncharted territories, not only are we homeschooling multiple children we are doing this amidst the largest crises we have seen. We all find ourselves in uncertain times that trigger anxiety and alarm; naturally, both learning and parenting become challenging under these circumstances. We may be feeling the pressure to “school” at home – and trying to figure out what that looks like. We may fear our children will fall behind or doubt our own ability to “teach” effectively.

In this presentation, Merissa Turner will explore important things to consider right now, as we attempt to maintain some normalcy in the midst of a world crisis. And we will look at practical ideas around what learning at home under these conditions might look like
