Our Story
If you share the belief that education should help your child figure out how to be self-sustaining, fulfill their purpose, and foster skills supporting their interests, then I ask you to support I Learn My Way.
When I graduated from the University of Texas at Austin, I was a long-term substitute teacher. As the first person to go to college in my family, I had done well to finish. However, I did not know what I wanted to do and had no post-graduation plan for the education and many skills that I possessed. I did not want to go into teaching because I encountered a principal and multiple administrators that wanted me to pass along student athletes in middle school who could barely read on a second-grade level.
In graduate school at the University of Texas at Austin, I founded a nonprofit youth organization for children with few choices to explore life choices that ran for over a decade until left and began my family.
One of the most rewarding experiences that I have ever had was the blessing to be able to homeschool my children. Homeschooling is an in-depth experience that many parents don’t get.
After my family situation changed, my children had to return to public school. (Follow my blog as I chronicle the horrors accompanying returning them to school.) Because I was so fascinated by how my children learned differently, I became a certified teacher. It saddens me that not much has changed in education. With all the constraints, requirements, and unrealistic expectations put on teacher, very seldom do students graduate with a solid understanding of their talents and abilities and how their gifts will help them in the world of work.
I Learn My Way is driven by making education efficient, engaging, and purposeful. When I say efficient, products, lessons, and courses are designed to help young people integrate fundamentals into simulated situations providing them experience of how the skills are used in real life.
In our personal finance class, we teach students about sunk costs which also applies in business. In the entrepreneurship course, we take fundamentals of Microsoft Office and combine them with students’ interest to create small businesses. In the Birdie, Mamie, and Rep’T’s World Tour, elementary concepts such as animal classifications and continents are combined using rhyming and site words that build literacy and reenforce social studies concepts.
As the founder of I Learn My Way LLC, I ask for you to try our products and give us your feedback.
Sincerely,
