Ep 19 Exploring Educational Options | A Summer Primer for Parents with Brettani Shannon

Brettani Shannon, founder of Options for Education in Grant's Pass, Oregon, offers a primer for parents on using summer to explore educational options and children's interests. We discuss the following:

- her upcoming projects and blog
- using summer to learn how your children learn
- finding your "tribe"
- considering options that match academic goals
- giving kids choice in their learning options
- using free trials of curricula for homeschooling or enrichment (and taking advantage of summer sales)
- summer programs available for students
- the bevy of learning options for all types of students (see below)
- finding inspiration via podcasts and elsewhere
- the concern of "falling behind"
- my ridiculous mispronunciation of her name
