Ace the SAT/ACT Mini Course for teens- Scholarship money is tied directly to a student’s SAT or ACT score. 85% of colleges will admit and give money solely based on a test score. Unfortunately, most students, even smart ones, bomb standardized tests because the questions are purposely misleading, and the wrong answers are tricky and easy to pick. This seminar will teach you how to answer questions in 30 seconds or less and will jump-start your excitement and confidence on how to beat these tests!  Taught by Jean Burk, College Prep Genius

Raising God-Confident Children- Deuteronomy 6 is a classic scripture admonishing parents to teach their children diligently when sitting at home, when walking along the way, when lying down, and when getting up. There are many more places in God’s Word that speak to home education and family discipleship. Whether you are at the crossroads considering home education, a few years into it deciding whether to stay the course, or a veteran in need of affirmation, the truth found in God’s Word will set you free. Davis shares many of these inspired verses in a way that brings God’s wisdom all the way home. C (hope to be added later)

The Huge Gap that College Bound Student's Fall lnto (three parts- not necessary to be at all three) 

There is an abyss for homeschoolers when it comes to preparing and paying for higher education, thus leaving families at a loss without proper guidance.

Having no “guidance counselor” can cause families to believe they are missing an important component in the college preparation journey. The truth is, that it’s not the job of the school counselor to get students into college but rather to get them out of high school. Without proper training, they often give wrong information about testing or applications that can ultimately cost a student admittance and scholarship money. On the contrary, it’s not the college admission’s counselors’ job to get a student through high school but to admit them to the school. 

Herein lies the chasm that most families, from all schools, face when it comes to college preparation. Consequently, numerous college planning companies cropped up over the years to fill in the gap. These businesses specialize in hand-holding students to write an essay, complete an application and fill out the FAFSA and they generally come with a big price tag, often several thousands of dollars. 

The good news for SUHC families is that Jean Burk will share with you a step-by-step guide for college-bound students—all for FREE! N

     Rachel DeMille

The 5 Habits of Highly Successful Homeschoolers: An Introduction (or Re-introduction) to Effective Homeschooling - and the 5 Simple Things That Will Determine Your Level of Success. Rachel DeMille shares powerful, universal principles that will super-charge any homeschool – no matter your style! N

Homeschooling the Exceptional Child - Gifted, Disabled, Dyslexic, etc. One of the more challenging aspects of parenting (and homeschooling) is presented by children whose learning pace, style and needs fall far outside of the "norm." In this talk, Rachel articulates the principles that inform an individualized educational plan that can meet the needs of your children - no matter what type of "exceptional" they may be. This has been one of the most requested and celebrated of her presentations in past conventions. N

For Such a Time as This: An Education to Match Your [and Their] Mission- Homeschool is more than just an alternative to mainstream offerings; it’s a seedbed of greatness, a refuge for faith, freedom and family, and the ultimate expression of allegiance to the principles and practices that will allow our children and grandchildren to live the mission they were born to fulfill. Never in history has parenting on this level been more critically important; never in history has it been more under attack. But we, and our children, were born for this. N

     Tj Schmidt

Can Homeschooling Really Prepare Your Child for Life/Career? Tj will encourage parents (and teens) through his personal experiences of how homeschooling can prepare your child for a successful future and life in general. It was homeschooling that brought Tj to live in Haiti and the Dominican Republic, help his father build over eight houses, sail through the Caribbean, work through law school at home and eventually come to work at Home School Legal Defense Association (HSLDA). Tj will also give a couple of examples of other homeschool success stories while providing helpful tips on what you can do to prepare your children for success through homeschooling. N

Homeschooling? How to Get Started and Stand Firm. In this workshop Tj will walk you through pulling out from public school or starting your homeschool program at kindergarten. While the focus will be on Utah homeschool law, the discussion may include Arizona and/or Nevada if appropriate. This workshop will also cover how to deal with questions from local school officials, social services, or others. Tj will educate you to be better prepared to handle these situations as well as how to get the help you may need in the future. A few common homeschool scenarios will be discussed. There may be time for questions and answers at the end.  N
