My Process Place The Lord at the Center of my choices and to remember that

that is HIS place.

To seek HIM when making every choice even when His choicemade me uncomfortable

Find curricula that maintained the standards of general educationwhile coinciding with the Classical model.

There were some texts that I just LOVED! Since those wereabove grade level, I added those in as well. (God blessed in thatthey werent that exhaustive to teach - - in terms of quantity ofmaterial)

Using curricula that would free up some of my time - - whichencourages independent work

To follow the teaching model of Christ (see next slide)
