The Brave Learner: Julie Bogart

Julie Bogart is a veteran homeschool mom to 5 kids. She is the creator of the award winning Brave Writer program and founder of the Homeschool Alliance. Her new book, The Brave Learner, is a must-have homeschool companion.

Talking to Julie is like having a friend over for a cup of tea (or coffee). Her excitement over finding the love of learning is contagious.The Idea Of Homeschool

Julie was pitched the idea of homeschooling in 1984 by a friend of her soon-to-be husband. Even though she had never heard of "homeschool" he sold her on the idea. It was the idea of creating a learning experience with your children that could be tailor-made to their aptitudes. An experience that could be creative and bonding as a family. After this, Julie was ready to homeschool.

Today Julie supports thousands of homeschoolers in their homeschool journey. Her writing program supports and guides families in writing. The Homeschool Alliance is a vibrant support community for homeschool parents. Her podcast gives a voice of encouragement. I find myself nodding my head to the stories that Julie shares.In This Episode

In this interview Julie continues the conversation around learning, homeschool and family. She tackles the fear many homeschool moms have- how will the kids really turn out?

Julie's shares so many personal stories in this episode.
The biggest concern that she hears from homeschool parents- How do I know I'm giving as good an education as what they're getting in the schools? Julie's answer is in the anecdote she tells of her husband's textbook contract.
Why Julie thought she had failed her son Noah in math. But how homeschool-tailoring the educational experience to the child's personality and needs- supported him in just the way he needed.
The experience of going on a dinner "date" with her son Jacob when he was 14. Only to find out his purpose was to tell her how homeschool was limiting his potential. She shares the realization he came to later.
The biggest gift of home education for her family.

We did not miss talking about Julie's new book, THE BRAVE LEARNER. We focused on the 3 Levels of Learning (Reading. Experience. Encounter) that Julie talks about in the book and how this impacts learning.

Are you a Brave Learner? You don't have to be a homeschool parent to model brave learning. Do you want to rekindle curiosity, courage and enchantment? I'd love to hear your reflections from this interview. What parts of the interview did you connect with?
