In today’s episode, we get to spend time with Brittany Stanford from southern Alberta, Canada. When she was young, Brittany’s family explored educational alternatives and decided to move to Mexico where they did both homeschool and public school. Later, Brittany and her siblings did homeschool and took some classes in the school as a hybrid approach based on subjects they wanted to study in school. Although Brittany always did well in school and in university, she describes feeling disappointed and less competent than she would have anticipated after earning a bachelor’s degree. This caused her to begin reading homeschool literature and she was reminded of the principles of learning she had experienced through her homeschool experience. Covid gave Brittany a good trial run to try homeschooling her children and she especially loved the homeschool community she found where she lives. In our conversation, Brittany emphasized the importance of having a local and online community for support and ideas. She encourages parents to model learning for their children and not to be afraid to make mistakes and fail at times. Brittany reminds us that homeschooling is flexible and customizable. Homeschool Philosophy and CurriculumTJED Brit Stanford BooksBrit StanfordThis Golden Hour
