🚨 SESSION ONE SPOTLIGHT 🚨
We’re kicking off The Homeschool Incubator with none other than Kara—and trust us, you want to be in the (virtual) room for this one! 🙌🏽

Kara Medrano, a Charlotte native, was homeschooled from fourth through twelfth grade and went on to earn both her bachelor’s and master’s degrees in special education. She taught in the Charlotte-Mecklenburg School system before shifting her focus to homeschooling her three boys. Today, she continues to serve the homeschool community as a passionate educator and one-on-one support specialist for students with diverse learning needs.

👉🏽 Here’s what you’ll learn from Kara👇🏽
How to:
✨ Choose curriculum without the overwhelm
✨ Know when to pivot or supplement
✨ Identify what fits your kids—not just your budget or social feed
✨ Stop wasting money on things you never use again

We’re chatting with Tenikca @tenikcag as she shares her process of prepping for the next school year using her P.R.E.P method.

Quick recap:

P= prioritize
R= report
E= evaluate
P= prepare

Planning for the next year can be overwhelming. Start with a brain dump of every thought/idea you have and put it on paper.

Then follow the P.R.E.P method to help you organize your thoughts. Please note that there is no planning involved at this stage. This is your opportunity to filter through all your ideas and thoughts for next year: throwing each item in the “yes” pile or the “no” pile.

Take a listen for more info. Enjoy the chat. ❤️
