Charlotte Mason in America

An Evening with Charlotte Mason

Over the past couple of years, I have had several people ask me about Charlotte Mason.  When I find myself repeating information frequently, I feel it is time for a gathering.  In the past I have had luncheons and dessert teas at my home to talk about Charlotte Mason. 

This time, I have reserved a space at a nearby church in which to do "An Evening With Charlotte Mason".  I put an invitation out to my local homeschool group and it seems there will be a good turn-out.  I am excited about this, but at the same time I'm nervous.

I plan to talk about what a CM education looks like, emphasize non-use of textbooks and  explain how to document it into a portfolio for Pennsylvania evaluations.  I'm also making a power point presentation to go along with my talk.

This coming year will be my first with CM. I live in PA and would love to know how you document it into their portfolios. Any suggestions would be great!!!

God Bless, Michelle

I would LOVE something like that here! As I've started focusing on our philosophy of life/learning, I keep coming back to CM. We're taking off the next 3 weeks, ending 07-08 and starting 08-09. During that time I plan on doing as much crash course I can and plan to do more CM this year! Kind of scared about seeming like we're doing less in the process of doing more, does that make sense?

Thanks for stopping by my blog!

May. 13, 2008 - your talk

Posted by Anonymous


I enjoyed the talk last night; unfortunately I had to leave right away, but wanted to let yo know that. I too was a public school teacher for 13 years (I went to WVU so not far from you) and I never saw a classroom that I would have wanted my own kids to be in. I've dabbled in Charlotte Mason in the past and this year went in a different direction and your talk inspired me to again incorporate CM ideas into my homeschool. Thank you for an enjoyable and informative evening!
