Why a Co-hort?

It’s professional development for the homeschooling parent.

Learn to guide instead of manage. Lead learning without controlling it.

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.

Trainings and Q+A on Zoom and regular engagement in Marco Polo small groups and with your 1:1 with Kelly foster accountability and application in real time, which increases learning and transformation.

90-Minute School Day Training is where people learn and practice becoming leaders.

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

Seating is limited!

I can't wait to meet you!

Do you want to become the kind of parent who can confidently lead self-directed education?

I’m thrilled that you’re considering joining us on this incredible journey of leadership through 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 90-Minute School Day™ – to support, guide, and journey alongside you in this new paradigm of natural learning.

Children and teens are hardwired to learn, and we naturally desire to resource them. Home education can happen naturally, without the stress of knowing everything and needing to incentivize your learner. 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. That is the destination we are heading towards, the path to get there is deschooling ourselves.

90-Minute School Day™ 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 learning to lead our homes in 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 have a child at home recovering from autistic burnout. You want support to help them return to their love learning. You need help shifting your own biases and point of view away from school and toward natural 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 or teens 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 neurodiversity-affirming with 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 most by parents and strollers, the abled and disabled benefit from this accommodation. Likewise, when we make learning more accessible for neurodiversity, the neurotypical population benefits as well.
