"You CAN Be a Great Math Teacher"

Building a Solid Math Foundation

Maybe you struggled with math, so you don’t know how to choose a curriculum or a method to help your child avoid the same struggles. Or, maybe you were good at math but are unsure how to teach it now. Should you include manipulatives? What DOES it take to be the best math teacher for your child? Math is a lot like building a house. Without a solid foundation, walls may hold up for a bit but eventually they will come crashing down. Come learn how to build a strong foundation and build up from there, even if your child is “behind”. This workshop will give you encouragement and guidance to become a great math teacher!

I remember when Dianne first started Home Education Council of America years ago, she always brought great energy to the conferences. I'm thrilled to see her blessing the homeschool community again and excited for what's coming to The Simple Scholar!

Belinda J.

So glad to find Dianne again at The Simple Scholar! I came for the field trips years ago, but kept following her as my kiddos grew. The college prep course helped us so much, thank you, thank you!

Lisa M.

The foundational courses have helped me to be a better homeschooler. Just when I think about throwing in the towel, I return to these workshops to get me re-centered and refocused and come out more passionate than ever about finishing the journey!

Marissa B.

Switching to a mastery approach has been my favorite "overhaul" in our homeschool experience. I'm so grateful to have this training that no one else is providing in this way. The certificates are much appreciated in Canada!

Meet your host:

Dianne (Didi) Kelley - author, speaker, and mentor - has helped to inspire and empower thousands of home educators for two decades, by simplifying some of the most daunting home education topics.

About Me...

People know me as the "bootcamp girl", from many years of designing training programs which accomplish specific goals, without any unnecessary fluff. "The Simple Scholar" is a compilation of nearly 20 years of teaching parents how to provide a superior home education for their children. I was hard-tasked to learn these things, and then developed easier ways to meet the same - or better - end goal. As a result, I have a deeper, more passionate interest in serving this community and love to share the simpler ways.
