Fall 2010 - October 5-8, 2010 - Orlando, FL
This seminar is a "MUST" for parents who will be homeschooling, using national schools to educate their children or are trying to decide what option they will use. This seminar is sponsored by Interaction International and SHARE Education Services. Even if you’ve homeschooled before in North America, this seminar is a must!
THIS SEMINAR WILL HELP PARENTS ANSWER QUESTIONS SUCH AS:
- What educational option is best for our children? Will it work for all our children?
- How can we use the national schools successfully?
- How can we help our children learn a second language?
- How can we develop a workable educational plan for our family that fits our goals, values, and ministry?
- How do we choose a homeschooling curriculum?
- How do we get started in homeschooling?
- How do we teach specific skills such as reading and writing?
- How can we prepare our children for the transitions they will make in leaving this culture and entering a new one?
These are the questions the Prefield Educational Planning Seminar is specifically designed to address. Unfortunately, these are also the issues that bring families home from the field prematurely according to a recent study on attrition.
FEEDBACK!! PARENTS WHO ATTENDED PREVIOUS SEMINARS SAID:
"I wish everyone preparing for overseas ministry could have access to the God-given wisdom that this team of educators possesses. They helped me to ask good questions and think through important issues regarding my kids education for now and for the future."
"I'm so thankful for the help this conference provided, but I wish we had gotten this information five or ten years ago before we went overseas."
"The single biggest stressor for my wife and I in serving overseas has been the issues and decisions regarding our children's education. This conference has given us the understanding and skills we needed to make and carry out educational decisions that fit our family and work." 
"Going overseas without this training and preparation is a bit like getting married without premarital counseling. It can be done, but we learned some things that we would not have learned apart from some painful experiences in the lives of our children."
"Thank you for the most valuable, practical, get your money's worth seminar I’ve at-
tended. You really dealt with the issues that were causing me concern. Although they
don't know it yet, my children will reap the benefits of this seminar for years to come."
DON'T MISS OUT ON THIS VALUABLE PREPARATION AND HELP!

the sake of your children and

CHILDCARE:
Each
year on evaluations, parents report they gained so much from the seminar
because they were able to spend time focusing on their children's education.
Consequently, we do not offer childcare at this program. They appreciated the
opportunity to discuss each evening the things that had been presented in the
workshops and shared in advising sessions during that day. Parents felt they
got far more out of the seminar then they would have if their children had
attended.

IMPORTANCE OF BOTH PARENTS ATTENDING:
We recognize that both parents will not play the same day-to-day
role in their children’s education, but believe both parents need to be
informed about these issues and to actively participate in making these
decisions. Consequently, we urge both husband and wife to attend the seminar if
at all possible. Previous participants have found it helpful for both
parents to hear the information presented, to discuss their questions with an
advisor and to work together on developing the educational plans for their children.
