Season of Re-education & Renewing of the Mind __________________________________
(#13) Course Contents for the Season of Re-education & Renewing of the Mind
Here is a list of all the items for this "season" that I recommend. Write-ups are not here; just resource titles, in alphabetical order. I also added prices for your convenience. (So the dots next to each item do not take you anywhere; they're just bullets.)
All Lifestyle of Learning books (in orchid print and in a box) must be ordered on the Lifestyle of Learning Order Form and sent directly to the Howshalls. (Directions are on those two pages.)
Foundational Portion of the Course (Season)
For all parents with children of all ages
Course Enrollment Fee ($15) If you are wanting a Certificate of Completion of us, or need a Certification of Participation"
Course Syllabus ($7) (This is NOT included in the Guide-a-log or online. This book is like a "guided journal" through the course, giving you a place to record what the Lord is doing in and speaking to you; what you're getting out of it. This is a very simple approach, with each page consisting of two charts for two different books of the course, with a few questions for you to answer; to personalize what you are reading. Here is a Sample page from "Season of Re-education" Syllabus just to give you an idea of what it's like - and how simple and personalized it really is. For those taking this course to "qualify" to homeschool in Washington state, the syllabus must be photocopied when you are done and sent to us.)

_________________________________________
REMEMBER!!! This is a SEASON! Not a sprint to cram all these books into your head in a short period of time! If you want to reap all you can from it, you need to allow God to take you through this season in His timing and His order. Please do not skip ANY of the rest of the sections of this "Season..." area if you want to fully understand what it's all about and not "OD" on it!
Are you beginning to see that this course/season is really a "major overhaul" on all the areas of your life - not just "homeschooling" - that are in need of attention and change? That's because "homeschooling" is not a separate "area" of your life; it IS your life! However, the Holy Spirit knows just how to lead you through this season without overwhelming you.
Note that many of the above resources are not full-size books, but are booklets or small books. Also, if you take this course to earn a Certificate of Completion from us, not all of each of the above is required reading; for some of the books, only specified portions are use. It's all explained fully in the Course Syllabus.
All authors are given with the write-ups for each of these books, and the write-ups on all of the above resources (except the Lifestyle of Learning books) are scattered throughout the various sections of our online catalog and have a quilt square next to them so that you can easily identify them as being part of the course.
