  • So excited for this show! ❤️

    I can’t wait to hear more episodes of Educator Forever! I love that Lily is building awareness around the many opportunities that allow teachers to remain in education. So many educators want to continue impacting teachers and students but don’t know there are options beyond the classroom. Thank you for all that you do for this space!

Q: What have been the biggest challenges and rewards of teaching in an unconventional, non-traditional format?
Jean notes the responsibility of homeschooling, the satisfaction from seeing kids engage deeply, and the need to approach learning with careful attention to neurodevelopment and student needs.
159. Teaching Homeschoolers with Jean Lee of the Academy of Chaos
Q: What exactly does the Academy of Chaos offer and how did the Midwest Homeschool Expo come about?
She explains starting with a local, family-centered program that evolved into a larger set of classes and the Midwest Homeschool Expo as a secular, inclusive event that grew from community needs and word of mouth.
159. Teaching Homeschoolers with Jean Lee of the Academy of Chaos
Q: Tell us about your professional journey and how you ended up in homeschooling.
Jean describes her background in neuroscience and large-scale strategy, her shift into homeschooling as a mother of three, and how the experience revealed a passion for creating flexible, hands-on learning experiences that align with real-world opportunities.
158. Teaching Novel Writing with Tavia Stewart & Laura Bradley of NaNo 2.0
Q: What advice do you have for teachers who want to run novel-writing projects?
Start planning well before November, ideally in August; create a lunchtime novel-writing club to pilot the idea, allow students to set flexible daily goals, let students lead topics, use activities like Ask and Suggest to generate ideas, and show that you are writing alongside them to model engagement and accountability.
158. Teaching Novel Writing with Tavia Stewart & Laura Bradley of NaNo 2.0
Q: What is National Novel Writing Month and how were you both involved in it?
NaNoWriMo is an annual challenge to write a novel in a month, started in 1999 by Chris Baty in Oakland. Tavia and Laura were deeply involved from early on: Tavia helped create the Young Writers Program and curriculum, and Laura connected classroom teachers to NaNoWriMo, integrating it into schools and ultimately helping to shape the program's expansion into NaNo 2.0.
