Conferences and Speaking Jeannie has spoken at many homeschool conferences, seminars and workshops. Because she is a busy homeschooling mom, she only schedules two out-of-town engagements each year; however, she is open to God's leading on other opportunities to bless homeschoolers, whether locally or out-of-town. So, if you would like to have Jeannie speak at your event, please email her at jeannie@jeanniefulbright.com.

Notebooking -- Creativity with a Purpose Tell me and I will forget; show me and I may remember; involve me and I will understand. When children create something from their learning, they will remember what they learned far longer than if they completed a worksheet page about it.

Jeannie Fulbright will share tips and actual demonstrations for replacing workbook assignments with creative ideas for Science, History, Geography, Literature and more. Examples and visual-aids make the information easy to understand and implement in your homeschool. Solving Your Science Struggles Let's face it, most people don't like science. Why is that?

Advice, examples and practical tips of how to impart a godly Worldview to our children, and develop one for ourselves, will be given during this talk.

Homeschooling: Methods that Win and Methods that Wipe Out This workshop will uncover the reasons why we get discouraged and burnt-out as we travel along the road of homeschooling. Jeannie will explain how many homeschool moms employ philosophies, techniques and methodologies that consume a great deal of time and energy with little results. We tie up heavy burdens, place them on our backs and struggle through each day using overly difficult principles and practices that drag us down. By mid-year, we are so exhausted and depleted that we wonder how we'll ever get through. Consequently, the joy of following God's will in homeschooling is missing. This should not be! Jeannie will discuss some of the wasteful methods and describe winning methods you can use to replace those that wipe you out. She'll explain the latest research in educational methodology as well as time-tested practices in education that the founders of our country used to achieve an excellent education. She'll give practical tips and ideas that will breathe life into your school day. Included will be ideas for organizing your school day, scheduling, and fitting difficult to teach subjects into the week.
