The Homeschool Alliance
When it comes to education, we often see a massive battleground between public school districts and homeschool families. But in Vinton-Shellsburg, Iowa, our stomping ground, they’ve engineered a blueprint that proves it doesn't have to be an all-or-nothing war. By building a strategic alliance, they’ve created a supportive network where independent home education and public district resources work hand-in-hand to help kids win. This episode takes us home, to our home school district. And I have brought Izaak’s supporting homeschool teacher from the Vinton-Shellsburg school district to share his perspective on how and why the homeschool program and the school district work so well together.
Anthony Church is a supporting teacher within that highly successful Vinton-Shellsburg homeschool program. In the first half of our discussion today, Anthony is giving us a peak at how this collaborative system works, why it succeeds, and how other communities can replicate it.
But Anthony isn't just watching the perimeter for other people’s kids anymore. In the second half of our conversation, we are diving into his highest-stakes personal assignment yet: As of the making of this episode, Anthony is an expecting dad. He’s about to step onto the front lines of fatherhood for the very first time so we will pick his brain about that phase of life.
As mentioned in this episode, for homeschool resources or any questions, email Ed Dickerson at: edickers@netins.net and write "homeschool inquiry" in the subject line and ask for his free guide book resource that has helped so many families.
