Reclaiming Education is a faith-based resource for homeschoolers, giving you useful and practical tools for your homeschool toolbox. The author, Cynthia Tobias, encourages you to look at the current state of education and prayerfully consider the best option for your family. She shows you how to equip your children to be lifelong learners and helps you learn how to identify your children’s learning strengths, motivate your learners, and use strategies to create the best environment for learning. Mary Jo Dean, the co-founder of Great Homeschool Conventions, has also contributed two chapters to the book, sharing her personal story and the success of her homeschooling journey. She and her husband surveyed about 1500 homeschool parents and asked questions like, “Why should we homeschool?” “What if we don’t feel qualified to teach?” and “Where do we start?” These questions are answered in the book. What an informative resource for parents thinking about homeschooling, providing tools to reclaim your children’s education! ~ Gina
