All are invited to participate in this two-day, online, and free event: August 7th + 8th, 2014. While the Homeschool+ Conference is geared toward those participating in or wanting to learn more about homeschooling, unschooling, free schools, democratic schools, and other forms of alternative/non-traditional education, our hope is that this conference will also be valuable for traditional educators looking to expand their scope and understanding of teaching and learning practices.
