Educational Background
God gives to each of His children abilities to perform service to Him. Although I would like the ability to sing beautifully or play the piano or other musical instruments wonderfully, God has chosen teaching for me. As a young girl, I was interested in elementary education. Some of this desire stemmed from my mom, who has been in education for years (she would not want me to date her!). I have also always enjoyed "little people" as they are quite amusing. So, my career of being a teacher started. I taught here and there in Sunday school, a few times in my Christian school, to youth girls, and even a few times before adult audiences as a young person.
My formal schooling was done at an accredited Bible college where I graduated with honors with a Bachelor of Science degree. When I graduated I had 168 credit hours. That was enough to receive a Master's Degree in many secular colleges. My major was elementary education with a history minor and a Bible minor.
Since college, I have spoken to many ladies groups. Although these meetings have not been about homeschooling, I have had the opportunity to help many homeschool moms across the country. I am in my seventh year of homeschooling with four students/grades this year.
Believe me, I do not have all the answers to homeschooling. But it is my heart's desire to share with homeschool moms the things that I have learned along the way. I hope that the tips I share on my website will make your homeschool both more enjoyable and profitable. If I can be of any further help to you, please feel free to contact me at any time.
I will be praying that you will have a happy homeschool experience with your children this year. ~Jodi
