SUMMARY:CHEA's Special Needs Mini-Con
DESCRIPTION:Part of the CHEA Summer Series 2020\n\n\nMany people think of “special needs” as the same as learning disabilities\, and many of these learning differences require special teaching methods. But “special needs” encompasses much more than learning difficulties. It is a broad range of needs\, and a parent’s calling is to help children learn and fulfill their God-given mission. \nHundreds of families are successfully teaching their own children who have special needs. These special challenges are better handled in the loving environment of home. \nJoin us for this one-day mini-conference that will offer solutions for homeschooling families who teach students across a spectrum of special needs. \nREGISTRATION\nThe Main Track workshops are free to all\, with registration. The Members Only Track will offer additional live workshops and recordings exclusively as a benefit to those who are CHEA Members (you can become a member during event registration). While free\, registration is required to access both the Main Track and Members Only Track. \nRegister Now \nMAIN TRACK WORKSHOPS (FREE TO ALL)\nThe Essentials of Special Education Homeschool (Peggy Ployhar)\nGeared toward new homeschoolers\, learn how to get started on the right track and avoid common pitfalls of homeschooling a child with special needs.

You might ask yourself: Is this a discipline issue? Do I need to get his hearing checked? What has happened to his character? In this workshop\, discover reasons why this is happening and what can be done to remedy the situation. \nThe Benefits of Writing An IEP for Your Child (Dawn Spence)\nSetting goals that can provide a roadmap to your child’s education \nBreaking the Myths and Walking in the Shoes of Students with Dyslexia\, Learning\, and Attention Challenges (Jill Stowell)\nDuring this simulation workshop\, experience for yourself what it might feel like to have an attention deficit\, live in a world of language when you have an auditory processing disorder\, or decipher a page of text through the eyes of a student with dyslexia.

SUMMARY:CHEA's Homeschooling and the Church Mini-Con
DESCRIPTION:Part of CHEA’s Summer Series 2020\nVirtually every child in our nation has spent the last few months homeschooling. Some parents had already chosen private Christian home education because of what is happening in our public schools–from graphic sex education to values that do not align with our Christian faith to the promotion of agendas of powerful and vocal special interest groups. Others are now considering bringing their children home out of concern for what the classroom environment will look like when schools resume. \nThis raises some questions for churches. What can the church do to help? Does the church have a role to play? Is homeschooling a viable option for Christian parents? \nThe Bible says that parents are responsible for their children’s upbringing and education. Regardless of the form of education (public or private)\, the responsibility rests on parents to see that their children are educated. Can we hope to pass our faith and a biblical worldview on to our children when they are being educated in a godless environment? Can we expect our children to have an abiding faith when schools teach or infer that God belongs in the compartments of home and church\, but not in schools or the greater society? \nREGISTRATION\nWhile this event is free\, registration is required. Once registered\, you will receive information about logging in to our Zoom workshop. \nRegister Now \nMEET THE SPEAKERS\nBrad Dacus\, Esq.\nBrad Dacus is the President and Founder of the Pacific Justice Institute (PJI). He served as Legislative Assistant to U.S. Senator Phil Gramm\, and went on to receive his Juris Doctor from the University of Texas\, School of Law. Brad can be heard weekly on The Dacus Report on more than 170 radio stations across the country. His varied public speaking opportunities include public debate and testifying before the United States House of Representatives in Washington\, D.C. He has also testified numerous times before the California State Legislature on legislation affecting religious freedom and parents’ rights. He was presented an honorary Doctorate of Religious Freedom and Family Rights degree from California Baptist University in recognition of his commitment to faith and justice and his work protecting parental rights and religious freedom through the Pacific Justice Institute. \n \nJeff Byers\nJeff and his wife\, Kerry. have been married for more than 36 years and have homeschooled their five children for more than 30 years\, graduating their last child in 2019. Jeff was ordained in ministry in 1993 and\, together with his wife\, they incorporated and founded God’s Word Church. Over the years\, they have run homeschool support groups as well as founded two PSPs. They also serve on CHEA’s Regional Advisory Board in the High Desert.

SUMMARY:Special Speaker Event: Making the Grade\, Rebecca Kocsis of CHEA
DESCRIPTION:ACHEV has invited Rebecca Kocsis to speak to ACHEV and the greater homeschool community in Ventura. Please come\, invite your friends\, and be prepared for a lovely evening of encouragement with Rebecca. A love offering will be taken to help cover Rebecca’s travel expenses. \n\nRebecca’s talk: Making the Grade – Does God really expect us to be perfect because we homeschool? Rather\, as home educators\, we often expect perfection from ourselves. There’s nothing wrong with high expectations. But how do we handle falling short of them? Do we take it to the cross? Or do we give ourselves a big fat F? Let’s take a look at this from a Biblical perspective.\n\nRebecca Kocsis and her beloved\, Ed\, homeschooled all five of their children\, graduating their youngest in 2006 from their homeschool. They are now the proud grandparents of an ever-growing tribe of energetic boys and girls (11 to date) who are their greatest delight. Rebecca served for 15 years as a PSP administrator and for several years on CHEA’s Regional Advisory Board. In addition to serving on CHEA’s board of directors\, she currently serves as Support Network Director and General Manager. She is the author of the devotional booklet Let Not Your Feathers Be Ruffled.
