Episode Synopsis

Let me know what you think 😉This session is from the Struggling Reader Track at the Reluctant Readers Summit - March 2, 2023.Malia is a coffee-loving, homebody and homeschool mom of two, who is passionate about making sure that play is present every day. She holds a master's in special education with a specialization in Applied Behavior Analysis and she's a licensed Special Education teacher in the state of Virginia with Board Certification in Behavior Analysis. Malia taught special education and served as an assistive technology teacher for over 10 years in her local public school system before making the shift to homeschooling her own children.In the transition to homeschooling she realized that there was a need for parental support and community, so she created the PLAY to Learn Method and began mentoring in the homeschool space. Her passion for learning through play began in her first-year teaching and has evolved since having her own children. No matter the age, there is one thing that has always been true in her years in education. Learning happens in the hands-on moments, where kids are free to explore, laugh, experiment, and even make occasional messes. WebsiteVisit your Summit Portal to claim your free gifts!
