This 90 minute seminar will be geared towards parents who are new to homeschooling and those who are just considering it.  Jan Zeiger will talk about the portfolio evaluation as well as different approaches to homeschooling and tips for providing children with meaningful learning experiences. The seminar may also be of interest to experienced homeschooling parents who are hoping to learn more about incorporating hands-on learning into their daily schedule.  (General questions from the audience will be addressed towards the end of the seminar.)

Want to homeschool but have a spouse who's not so sure?  Have a friend who is interested but afraid to take the plunge? Bring them to this event.  The deadline for registration is March 16.

Have a middle or high school student?  The information shared at the seminar should still be helpful. :) In the meantime, check out Florida Virtual School, but remember that you don't have to sign up for the entire program.

Hosted By

Jan Zeiger, Homeschool Consultant & Evaluator



Jan completed her BA and Master's degrees in Elementary Education at the University of Florida and taught for 6 years in Seminole County (in both public and private school). She is available to help families who are just starting out as well as more experienced families who need yearly evaluations. 


Jan recommends a balanced approach to homeschooling that provides opportunities for hands-on and "delight-driven" learning. The homeschooling mother of two encourages parents to keep long-term goals for their children in mind when making educational decisions. These goals might include a great sense of self, a lifelong love for learning, and a strong academic foundation.


Jan has worked with more than 100 families in the area and has written articles about homeschooling for local and national publications. In addition to homeschooling her own children, she is currently studying Educational Leadership at UCF.
