Welcome

To follow the educators blog visit educator-parentfusion.blogspot.com



It is an exciting time to be raising kids, although that does not make it simple by any means.

Your comments and opinions are greatly appreciated. We are here to discuss ideas (old and new) in both education and parenting. I believe there is a very important triad in childrearing that consists of the child/adolescent, the parent(s) and educator(s). My goal is to provide avenues for continuous support and communication between all three. For it is in the care and nurturing of all three participants that the hope for the future lies. No one element of this triad can carry all of the weight. All three must be supported in order to relieve the perceptions of stress and achieve balance.

I am excited that you have found this blog - I hope you find some intriguing and empowering thoughts that inspire you to join the conversation and help me spread inspiration, energy and ideas to everyone involved in this vitally important link to our future (is there anyone who is not connected in some way?!) We have lots to do!


I look forward to many inspirational discussions.

A new tutoring tool!

As we prepare to start another school year we begin thinking of the coming challenges, what we struggled with last year and how we will prevent some of the road blocks that ran up against.  Personally, I am working with several students and parents right now to complete learning evaluations and get some new tools/ strategies in place for the coming year.
  Here is a new (to me) site that I came across. This site is not only free for students, but educators as well, which makes it even easier to grow.  The site contains over 2400 teaching videos, with many different approaches. This means that learners of every style can find help here.  There are many different subjects from a basic level through advanced high school, if not college levels.
PLEASE check it out, preferably with your student(s) and leave some feedback. I can't possibly get to all of the different areas and videos segments, so that's where you all come in.  If you find something that is particularly helpful, please share it with us!
P.S. It's not too late- if you are needing some help preparing for this fall we can complete an evaluation (online if you are not local) and set up a learning plan, just contact me through my email- lifeisgr8.julie@gmail.com
