Friday, January 30, 2026 from 10am-2pm. Parent Workshops will take place at 10:30am, 11:30am, and 12:30pm

We look forward to seeing you there!

Info: Walk around and meet 50 vendors who support the Memphis-area homeschool community with their products and services.

Info: Starting your homeschool journey doesn't have to be overwhelming! Join Kari Sanders in this session designed to empower and inspire you, equipping you with the tools and confidence you need to start your own homeschooling adventure. She will explore cover schools, selecting curriculum, setting expectations, and finding community to enrich your homeschooling experience!

Info: Good habits are key to preparing financially for your child's college education! Join Aleah Sidwell from Leaders Credit Union for an informative and practical session that will explore savings options, financial aid basics, and smart budgeting strategies to help you balance current family priorities with future college goals. You’ll leave with a plan and tools to make college planning less stressful and more achievable!

Info: Frustrated with math? Before you switch curricula, check for this missing foundation. Number sense—the deep understanding of how numbers work—is rarely taught explicitly, yet it's essential for math success. Without it, children memorize without understanding and struggle increasingly as math gets harder. Learn how to identify number sense gaps in your K-8 student through simple observations (like subitizing skills), see what to watch for during game-based learning, and discover practical activities using everyday materials (cards, dice, coins) that build real mathematical thinking. Leave with free resources and a clear understanding of what your child actually needs to succeed in math.

Info: Raising children in today's digital world, what parent hasn't had concerns about internet safety? Join TBI Agent Turner for this practical course designed to help parents protect their children online by understanding digital risks, setting healthy boundaries, and teaching safe, responsible internet use.

Info: From elementary school end-of-year exams through college entrance exams, you can test without compromising your values! Learn how to use assessments for more than just checking the box as Kimberly Farley of CLT (Classic Learning Test) discusses how to choose an assessment, use the results, and set students up for success with any form of testing.

Info: Discover fresh insight and practical strategies for supporting students with dyslexia in the classroom and beyond! In this engaging session Jill Marr, an experienced dyslexia advocate, will break down the myths surrounding dyslexia and share evidence-based approaches that empower struggling readers to thrive. Attendees will walk away with tools to identify early signs, create supportive learning environments, and strengthen reading confidence in students with dyslexia.

Info: Homeschooling can be both rewarding and overwhelming! In this interactive workshop Maggie Jamerson will equip you with practical, research-backed strategies to help your children learn effectively. Participants will learn how to use brain-based techniques to boost reading, comprehension, and focus. Whether you’re new to homeschooling or looking to refine your approach, this workshop will provide the tools and confidence for you to teach smarter — not harder — and empower your child to reach their full potential.

Info: Whether you are transitioning from traditional public or private school, or you are stuck in a traditional way of schooling, this workshop will guide you in the steps to be set free to homeschool! Margie Abbitt will open your eyes to the truth about education and how homeschooling offers the freedom and flexibility to give your student a great education. You can be set free to homeschool differently than traditional school!

Info: Dual enrollment (DE) is an extraordinary opportunity for high school students to take college courses for credit, often for free, during high school! Pat Wade will share the necessary details about which colleges offer DE, how to enroll your student, how to choose the best courses, which courses will transfer to a future college, and, especially, how to get state funding to make DE free!
