RC sponsoring entrance fees for parents and teachers to attend a major home-school convention/conference in ‘09
March 7, 2009 | Leave a Comment
Dear Families and Teachers,
At the Educators Seminar of 2008, parents and teachers from across the USA, Canada, Puerto Rico, Mexico, and Central America delved into 5 days of extensive teacher-training. The results were envisioned and updated (and hopefully also relaxed and well-rested) teachers and parents who returned empowered and ready to take their ministry and calling of educating to a whole new level.
As a region we are committed to ongoing progress in the fields of education and education opportunities for our children and young people. We are taking the next step in 2009!
We are thrilled to share with you an exciting announcement of God’s supply and an opportunity you don’t want to miss!
Home schooling is one of the preferred choices of education for many Family missionaries. Therefore your North America Regional Council has decided to sponsor the entrance fee for parents and teachers to attend a major Home-school convention/conference in 2009.
These conventions are excellent sources of information, classes, training, networking, resources, guidance and education for home-educators. Most of the speakers at these conventions are authors and/or leaders in the home school world. Many parents and teachers who have attended in the past years have commented that the conferences were an unforgettable experience — opening up their vision, their access to resources and ideas and curriculums, and went long way in boosting their productivity, knowledge, and vision in educating. We hope to make attending a home education convention this year an opportunity available to every Family parent and teacher in this region.
Home school conventions/events — such as the CHEA (http://www.chea.org/) — are present in many cities and on different dates throughout the year. We will be posting a calendar with a list of some these kinds of events which we know are available. You may want to use this as a guide to choose from, and you are also welcome to research and see if there are other conventions available in your area.
Sponsorship is for the entrance fee of parents and teachers of North America Family missionary Homes. (FD/MM/FM)
Parents and teachers who would like to attend a home school conference this year can download this application form and send in their application for free attendance!
Following are the stipulations for this sponsorship:
1. Sponsorship is for:
*Full-time Teachers (including singles without kids who are fulltime teachers)
*One parent per family
(Some conferences only charge a fee for one person per couple (if one parent pays, then their spouse can get in free) or offer a discount for attendance of a spouse or second member of the same household. So folks can check for these deals).
2. Apply right away if you want to attend. We will send out a simple application form. We are working with a pre-set budget, so we will sponsor entrance fees on a first-come-first-serve basis.
3. In order to help you document the event, we will require a short report of the experience from each person who was sponsored. The report should be of their time there, the classes attended, and their reaction to the conference. (Between 500-1000 words is fine, though more is also welcome.)
4. And, we will require a photograph (of the attendee at the conference) from each person who was sponsored.
5. Sponsorship is for the entire cost of the entrance fee. All other costs such as food, travel, or lodging will be the responsibility of the attendee.
6. You will be reimbursed for the entrance fee after we receive a receipt from your attendance showing the cost of attendance, the name and location of the conference you attended, as well as the required short report and photograph.
Download this application form now and apply today!
Again, we are working within a pre-determined budget for sponsorship which may limit the amount of entrance fees we can afford to pay, so sponsorship is on a first-come first-serve basis.
We hope to hear from you right away!

“Educators Seminar” Reviews
March 6, 2009 | Leave a Comment
“Educators Seminar” Reviews
“It has been so neat to be able to partake of the wealth of so many other Family educators, their experiences, questions, ideas, out-of-the-box innovative initiatives to try new things.”—Faithy, Toronto
“This professional education seminar will accomplish the purpose for which it was intended. The time, attention, organization, research, and prayer invested is very evident, and I feel that we will all go away from here very proud to be teachers—professional teachers—who play a vital role in our Family’s present and future.”—Linda, Mexico

Who the October 2008 Educators Seminar is for, and why every Family educator should attend
August 21, 2008 | Leave a Comment
You’ve probably heard about the exciting Educators Seminar (Teacher Training) that is now only 7 weeks away. The Educators Seminar is a 6 day event, plus 2 days of travel in an arrival day and departure day on either end. (October 12-19th. Arrive on the 12th, Depart on the 19th). The Seminar is being organized for FD and MM Family members.
Attendees need to RSVP by Monday, August 25th, in order for us to be able to book your ticket to the seminar and get the right price.
You might be wondering if you should attend it, who exactly it’s for and what exactly this seminar is about. We’re all busy people, especially our teachers and parents, so to pull out of our demanding lives for a full 8 days is an important decision that you will want to be sure is worth your time and effort.
We’ve received a few questions from friends and Family along these lines, as well as requests for more specifics on what material will be covered and who the seminar will benefit. Some have asked; “Is it for new teachers?” “Should experienced teachers attend? Will they learn anything new there?” So we wanted to write and try to help you decide on attending by answering these questions for all of you, and giving you a fuller picture purpose of this Seminar, Outline of what will be covered (please see the outline at the end of this memo), and how the Educators Seminar could benefit you and your Home.
Read this and more details on how to RSVP here.
