Organizer
Jan Zeiger, Homeschool Consultant & Evaluator
Jan recommends a balanced approach to homeschooling that provides opportunities for hands-on and "delight-driven" learning. The former homeschooling mother of two encourages parents to keep long-term goals for their children in mind when making educational decisions. These goals might include a great sense of self, a lifelong love for learning, and a strong academic foundation.
Jan has worked with more than 100 families in the area and has written articles about homeschooling for local and national publications. She has contributed to her local homeschool community through seminars at Spark Family Enrichment Center as well as her work as a "Field Trip Coordinator" and mentor. She has 5 years experience homeschooling her own children. Her two children recently began attending a wonderful charter school that uses a hands-on, integrated approach. The transition has been a great one, even after homeschooling for a total 5 years.
Jan completed her BA and Master's degrees in Elementary Education at the University of Florida and taught for six years in Seminole County (in both public and private school). She has been assisting families who are new to homeschooling as well as more experienced families since 2006. She currently serves as a language arts teacher of terrific seventh graders in Apopka. She is also pursuing a degree in Ed. Leadership at UCF and plans to obtain her administrative certification in 2014.
