​How to Teach American Civics and Patriotism 
John De Gree, Founder of Classical Historian 

Picture
In an era where America and Western Civilization are under attack, John De Gree has been creating patriotic games, videos, and curriculum to teach Judeo-Christian, Greco-Roman heritage throughout his 30 years of teaching and 11 years as President of Classical Historian. Come to this talk to learn practical, educational, and FUN activities to do with your grandchildren, children, and students in small or full classrooms. 



​​Aliyah Jeffries and Home Schooling History

Picture
Aliyah Jeffries lives in the busy city of New York. She and her husband have been married for almost fifteen years and have three boys, ages twelve, eleven and six. She has been homeschooling for eight years. After trying different homeschool styles, the Classical approach to teaching and learning became a beautiful way to learn together for her family. She enjoys nature walks with her family, fitness, occasionally making YouTube videos, reading and participating in book discussions.
 
Aliyah will be sharing why she believes learning history alongside her children benefit them and herself.  She hopes to encourage parents by discussing some of the things she does to continue her history education to aid her in her homeschool to make it fun and enjoyable for the whole family. Aliyah will share her experiences with Classical Historian games, curriculum, and as a member of The Dolphin Society participating in the History Book Club. 

How do I Nurture Honest and Inquisitive Students/
​Children in History?

Picture
Many parents ask me, "How do I teach history when I hated learning it in school?" Or they say, "I was never good at learning history. How can I teach it?" This talk will give you a peaceful mindset in confronting these issues and will provide practical advice on how a home school parent can quickly "get up to speed" with history. 

The Dolphin Society: How it Can Help You Teach History

John De Gree will introduce and explain the vast resources that Dolphin Society Members enjoy. Many times, home school teachers and classroom teachers feel overwhelmed and overworked. The Dolphin Society contains hours and hours of podcasts, videos, and lessons that make teaching history easier and great.
