EDUCATIONAL TECHNOLOGY SPECIALIST AND TEACHER AT NORTHSTAR ACADEMY
Patty is a homeschool mom and a teacher and Education Technology Specialist here at NorthStar. Her youngest child was two months into her 6th year of public school when she wondered out loud, “Should we change to homeschool?” It was one of the scariest decisions they had faced as a family as they walked through extensive research about what homeschooling could look for their daughter.
Very helpful!
