College By Age 12: How Did We Do It?
You’ve heard their story, now come find the answer to the question on everyone’s mind, “How did you do it?” Mona Lisa and Kip Harding are just your average high school sweethearts with ten children. Except seven of those ten children all went to college by the age of twelve (so far!), and the youngest three are well on their way to joining them. The three oldest have gone on to become an engineer by 22, an architect with her own practice, and one of the youngest doctors in the Navy. The boys are currently studying to become a computer scientist, a musician/composer, and a scholar of the Middle Ages. The next one now in college (age 11) is already considering the field of law! In this presentation Kip and Mona Lisa share their simple strategy that led to monumental success.

Kip and Mona Lisa Harding are the authors of The Brainy Bunch and Christian Homeschooling parents of ten children. Kip and Mona Lisa have a strong belief in a concept called "student-centered learning". That belief led them to an experiment which produced remarkable results--their children entering college by age 12! No, the children weren't born with extraordinary brains. They are just average ordinary children who were given the opportunity to follow their own passions and interests. Their three oldest now have successful careers as an engineer, architect and doctor and the others are well on their way. Kip and Mona Lisa’s story is an uplifting, extraordinary, and ultimately relatable one that any parent can achieve.

Jody Kadel - I have been homeschooling my daughter for the last five years since we brought her home from the hospital. I taught in the public school system for 8 1/2 years (grades 3-6) and resigned after my husband passed away. We talked about homeschooling when we first adopted our daughter, but both decided against it, though for very different reasons. Now, as a single mom, I want to enjoy every minute I can with my daughter and watch her learn and grow. We love field trips (aka dates), reading, serving others, and riding wiggle cars.

It has given them the opportunity to share their views and feelings about what they see and learn. It has in many ways given them a deeper appreciation of what they have been blessed with.
One of the reasons families don't experience this kind of world travel is often because the cost far exceeds the budget. We have discovered ways that blow away the budget excuse. We have traveled 3 weeks in Europe with 4 children in tow for around $2500.00 total (that is for all 6 of us). That includes air, accommodations, transportation, food, fun and more. Come learn our secrets in this fascinating journey and the incredible experiences that have come from our adventures.

Dale and Michelle Bartlett are the authors of two internationally known travel books and multiple social media sites and blog with information designed to help people travel more for much less than most could ever dream. They are best known for their first book, Have Kids - Will Travel and for being the family travel experts, but are quickly becoming experts on inexpensive travel for anyone, singles, couples or families. In 1997, the Bartlett’s began discovering different ways anyone can travel inexpensively and sometimes free. Their first trip with their four children to France and England cost them a total of $4000.00 including air, hotel, car rental, food and fun. They have since found ways to cut this much more drastically. As acclaimed speakers, the Bartlett’s have shared the podium with such notable personalities as New York Times Bestselling Author Richard Paul Evans, Paula Fellingham founder of The Women's Information Network, noted Author and "Get Away Guru" Larry Gelwix (real life coach of the team featured in the movie, Forever Strong), John Taylor Gatto, Rebecca W. Keller, Ph.D and Alice Fulton-Osborne. The Bartlett’s have been featured on television morning shows, radio programs, as well as in multiple newspapers across the country and countless articles in print.

Unleashing Your Pen!
If you ask any homeschooling parent if they want their children to be powerful writers, they will always say “Yes!” But after buying expensive programs and seeking out the cutest graphic organizers on the vast currents of the internet...somehow…things don’t quite work out as they envisioned. Maybe your teenager hates to write or your child struggles with the mechanics of whether he needs a comma or an apostrophe (so he dangles it somewhere in the middle to cover all the bases!). I’d like to propose something completely different for teaching writing in your home. What if you could clue into a cycle that happens naturally and, by facilitating it, you could help your students to find their own writing voice? In this session you will learn some of the skills of being a great writer and, even more importantly, being a great writing coach. You are already giving them a great education—it’s time to help them develop a skill which will allow them to communicate what they know with confidence and persuasion.

Body Language:
How to Send a Positive First Impression
Body language is the billboard for your mind. What you think shows up in your gestures. Positive and negative thoughts create very different gestures in your body language. These small movements translate into larger movements - that either support and propel you forward - or leave you feeling small, doubtful and insignificant. What if the things holding you back from success were so simple that you could make a few minor adjustments, and start seeing improvement immediately? Just as a picture instantly conveys information, your body language speaks volumes about you. Learn to see yourself with new eyes and accelerate your progress, both personally and professionally.

FRESH JUICE: Encouraging and Fostering Creativity in Education
We were all born to create. From the time we were small, we actively used our imaginations as we thought up impossible ideas and learned by exploring our world. However, for most of us that creative fire was extinguished at some point on the elementary school conveyer belt. Creativity is undervalued in traditional schools and often discouraged altogether. Adults educated in the conveyer belt model often struggle with right-brained thinking skills that were stifled at a young age. Now, faced with trying to give our children a different kind of education, we find ourselves faced with problems that we don’t know how to fix, causing frustration and reverting us back to our conveyer belt training. Come and learn how to exercise your right-brain muscles, tap back into your natural creative flow, and find a balance in your homeschool between data & skills and intuition & imagination. Find confidence in your creative capacities to solve any problem, teach with inspiration, and foster creativity in your children.

Becoming a POWERFUL Math Mentor
Is your math just making calculators out of your kids? If so, why are they memorizing math rules and procedures or even studying math at all if they have an actual calculator that can do everything they're being taught? The hard truth is, we don’t need human calculators any more, we need self-reliant, powerful thinkers. Think about it, no one sat down with Isaac Newton and told him: “here are the 3 steps to do calculus.” He had to observe patterns. He struggled. He hypothesized. He experimented. He failed. And then, he discovered calculus. Your kids can do this too. They can become self-reliant thinkers through what I call the Discovery Method. Families across the world are thriving in this new approach to math. For them, math has become an engaging and powerful part of their homeschooling. They’ve learned to unlock the potential that mathematics has to teach their children how to think and reason and become self-reliant problem solvers. So if you think to yourself: I am worried that my kids are behind in math. I’m not sure I know math, so how am I supposed to teach it? I am sick of sending my kids off with workbooks. I wish my kids didn’t dread doing math. I wish I didn’t dread math time. My kids are doing the work, but are they really learning math? Then this presentation is for you. Come learn how you can do this in your home, no matter what curriculum you are using. It’s time to create the math program you really want.

Hardest of all is that their time to complete their preparation now seems so limited, counting down the days and months before the test.

These are difficult questions that millions of parents have struggled with before. There is an answer to these questions. In fact, the answer is surprisingly simple - and I’ve seen it help every age of student, with every math background, find success on the ACT/SAT. If you have teenage students, no matter how strong or weak their math talent, this presentation is for you. Come learn the one simple secret to maximize the results of your student on these high-stakes tests.

By following a simple pattern of learning you will know what to say, know you are enough and get a good nights sleep.

Tresta Neil is the co-creator of Keystone Education and co-directs the LDS Homeschool Conference with her amazing husband, Thom. She is the author of God Saw That It Was Good, and The Key Pattern of Learning. She is a sought after speaker throughout the nation, teaches online classes and mentors others on family relationships, systems and homeschooling. As a child she believed the words "you're stupid" and when she barely graduated High School she had proof. After graduating college with two degrees, Tresta still felt unintelligent. In 1998 when her husband asked her to homeschool their four small children she panicked, how could she teach them? what if it wasn't enough? she could ruin them! She found a wonderful mentor to guide her. She spent the next several years in a small basement apartment hiding from the world and teaching her children in secret. During that time she discovered how to learn and how to make connections between the mind and the heart by focusing on Christ and the language of symbolism. In her presentations you will learn to connect more deeply with God and your children and experience the joy of seeing the light of understanding move from their mind to their heart.

12 Steps for Avoiding Homeschool Burn-out

Glenn Kimber was born and raised in northern Utah. After graduating from High School he attended Weber State College. In 1965 he married Julianne Skousen and shortly thereafter he joined the Air Force where he served for 4 years, including one tour of duty to Vietnam.
Upon returning from Vietnam, Dr. Kimber continued his university studies graduating with a Bachelor’s Degree from Brigham Young University. He then joined with W. Cleon Skousen in establishing an educational foundation called the Freemen Institute, which was organized for the purpose of teaching American History and Constitutional studies. During the next number of years, Dr. Kimber presented patriotic seminars and conferences in all 50 states and in a number of foreign countries.
Dr. Kimber continued his education, receiving two Doctorate degrees, one in Constitutional Studies in 1992 from Coral Ridge Baptist University, based in Florida. He continued his educational pursuits and received a second Doctorate in education from George Wythe College.
Dr. Kimber established a series of private schools called the Benjamin Franklin Academies to incorporate a strong moral and patriotic curriculum back into the classroom. In 2001 he also established the Kimber Academies, a private school for students ages K – 12.
