Why a Co-hort?

Peer learning is powerful.  We learn from one another through feedback, seeing how others are applying concepts, by brainstorming, experience sharing and/or collaboration in problem solving.

The benefits of one-on-one coaching and group learning delivers a transformational experience as you put what you’re learning into action and discuss with others.

Live trainings on Zoom foster accountability to attend live (or watch the replay by the next session).  A live container inside community with other parents increases engagement which increases learning and transformation.

Having a safe space to share struggles, ask questions and hear from others sharing similar experiences is empowering and validating.

Overhaul your approach to learning at home in 8 live sessions.  Live sessions provide personal engagement and accountability while targeting a specific topic, followed by Q+A time.  Sessions are typically 2 hours each and recorded with lifetime access.

Opportunities for self-reflection, leadership, mentorship, self-compassion and healing in a safe, judgement-free zone of deep understanding.

I can't wait to meet you!

I’m thrilled that you’re considering joining us on this incredible journey of natural learning and connection. As a former foster parent turned trauma-informed, homeschooling parent of neurodiverse kids, I know how challenging and rewarding this path can be. That’s why I created Guide Training™ – to support, guide, and journey alongside you in this new paradigm of natural learning.

Children are designed to learn, and we naturally desire to resource them.  Home education can happen naturally, without the stress.  It can seamlessly weave into your daily life and adventures.  This is what we’re all about – reclaiming time, sanity, confidence, and forging deep connections and relationships with our kids and with each other through natural, self-led learning.  That is the destination we are heading towards, the path to get there is Deschooling.

Guide Training™ is where you’ll find like-minded families who understand your journey, share your values, and celebrate your unique homeschooling path. Together, we’ll deschool, explore, learn, and grow as we walk the trail of deschooling to natural learning.

I can’t wait to meet you and accompany you in this adventure of learning at home with your children.

Warmly,

Kelly Edwards
Founder of 90-Minute School Day™

This is for you if...

You're looking for a different way to homeschool with your imaginative, distracted and energetic child. You want support in figuring out how to help them focus and still love learning. You need help shifting your own biases and point of view away from school and toward learning.

You have a neurodivergent learner, a child with special needs, a child with big behaviors or trauma and need a philosophy that meets them where they are at but also facilitates learning without adding to your plate.

You're tired of trying to keep up with traditional school and other homeschoolers. You're wanting to do different for your kids, but just aren't sure how, where to start. You're looking for clarity and confidence!

You’re a teacher yourself and have found that learning at home is not the same as the classroom, you're looking for guidance on beginning or continuing your deschooling journey into self-directed education.

You're a working parent who needs a framework that will keep your accountable for your child's education but also won't take all day.

You have a resistant learner, one who has experienced school-refusal, who generally refuses or doesn't have a willingness to do anything.

You want your children to self-direct and not rely on you for what to do next.

This is training, resourcing and community for the home educating parent so children being educated from ages 0-adulthood fall into the trainings and discussions.

The 90-Minute School Day approach is crafted with neurodiversity and developmental trauma in mind. That said, neurodiversity is a landscape that includes neurotypical individuals. 

To illustrate this, when the American Disability Act paved the way for sidewalk cut outs, the original intention was to grant easier access to the physically disabled.  However, these cut outs are used the most by parents and strollers, the abled and disabled benefitted from this accomodation. Likewise, when we make learning more accessible for neurodiversity, the neurotypical population benefits as well.
