Sparking curiosity and delight in students and teachers

Sparking Curiosity and DelightWhen children show strong abilities in one area or another, the adults in their lives often encourage them to pursue hobbies and careers that play off those strengths. That may certainly be an advantage, but sometimes the strategy can leave children feeling incomplete. We’ll explore a path that supports academic growth while sparking curiosity in childhood. Learn how to spread an inspiring feast of ideas and come alongside your kids as they dive deeply into the passions and interests that make them come alive!Keynote Speaker - Amber O'Neal JohnstonAmber O’Neal Johnston is an author, speaker, and Charlotte Mason home educator who blends life-giving books and a culturally rich environment for her four children and others seeking to do the same.
