Hi, I’m Elan: a proud Spelman alumna, a wife and a working homeschool mom of 2. But before homeschooling became our way of life, I looked into every type of school imaginable for my girls. I simply couldn’t find a traditional learning environment that truly met their needs. I tried small private schools, speciality charter schools, and I researched all the public schools near me that boasted the best test scores. But I finally realized that if I wanted the personalized learning for my kids that would affirm them and allow them to dive deeper into their natural interests and passions, then I would have to take control of their education and completely reimagine what school could look like for my family. So I decided to start homeschooling. I developed a simple framework that allowed me to create the learning environment my girls needed to thrive, while helping me balance my role as a working homeschool mom. And now I’m sharing that framework with you! So if you’re ready to take control and create a homeschool experience… Tailored to your children's learning needs… Connected with other homeschool families of color… All while spending more quality time together as a family - then this is the podcast for you! So pop in those ear buds and join me because it’s time to do Homeschool Our Way.
