Debbie & Ashley

It is our great pleasure to offer these seminars featuring both Debbie and her daughter, homeschool graduate, Ashley (Strayer) Wiggers together. Not only do their topics touch the hearts of listeners, but also reveal the closeness of relationship God can build through the years of homeschooling.

After their talks, people comment on their cohesiveness, message of educational support and encouragement. It is unique to see a mother-daughter team speaking to the real-life issues of homeschooling, and many are encouraged by Ashley's testimony of overcoming learning obstacles to become a national champion synchronized swimmer and the author of 3 books by the age of 25.

Want Debbie and Ashley to speak to your group? Contact us for details about scheduling her for your conference, book fair, support group meeting, or retreat.

Their Workshops Include:

Building Your Homeschool Team
When can even the most successful lesson plans fall short of accomplishing our true goals of character, courage and creativity? When the focus of homeschooling is self-centered, rather than team-tied! Listen to the mother-daughter team share ways to encourage your children to be others-aware, making homeschooling life something we can do for the long haul!

Cultivating a Love for Learning
How can homeschooling be different from schooling at home? Shared from the perspective of teacher and student, mother and daughter, listen as we share ways to transform schooling struggles into schooling success. Come to hear how to develop, or rekindle, a love for learning in the hearts of those you are teaching!

Finding God's Path for Your Heart
The most important relationship choice in life begins with the relationships your child already has! Come and hear Debbie and Ashley tell the story of God's faithfulness and provision to a young woman as she sought God's path for her heart. Based on relationships with God and family, receive encouragement to walk with your young people in a way that honors God, strengthens family and gives grace for the journey!

Overcoming Learning Difficulties Together
Children love being successful, so when they aren't, how can you help. Come and listen to the personal homeschooling experiences of mother (a lifelong educator) and daughter when faced with obstacles to learning. This workshop tells how to overcome obstacles that may limit your ability to teach, and your children’s ability to understand. Shared with humor and honesty, Debbie and her daughter Ashley will provide tips, and insight from the student’s perspective that can help your children achieve their greatest learning success.

Seeing the Big Picture of Homeschooling
Perfect for parents of any age child, Debbie shares the vision, goals and challenges of home schooling through high school and on into life. Assisted by her daughter Ashley, a wife and graduate of home schooling, mother and daughter speak to issues on the hearts and minds of parents and children and bring encouragement for the journey ahead. The antidote to discouragement is hope, so come and lift your vision higher!

Gaining Confidence to Learn
In this workshop, Debbie Strayer and Ashley (Strayer) Wiggers share from their years of experience as homeschoolers and as educators and coaches of parents and children. Included are important qualities to have in your teaching, tips to help your children do their best as well as understanding of the hindrances to learning some students experience. Come to hear the teacher and student perspectives needed for success in homeschooling and life!
