FWAHS - Fort Wayne Area Home Schools

Workshop Speakers
	Steve and Teri Maxwell began their homeschooling adventure in 1985 and are the parents of eight, ages sixteen to thirty-six. Their seven homeschool graduate children are wage-earning adults while the last one remains an active homeschool student. Steve and Teri have written a number of books, including Managers of Their Homes, Managers of Their Chores, Keeping Our Children's Hearts, Homeschooling with a Meek and Quiet Spirit, and Preparing Sons to Provide for a Single-Income Family. For over twenty years, the Maxwells have been writing free monthly e-mail articles for Christian parents that can be subscribed to at their booth or Titus2.com. For more information on the Maxwells visit www.Titus2.com.
	Ray and Donna Reish are the homeschooling parents of seven children, ages fourteen to thirty. Donna has written over fifty curriculum books for two publishers over the past twelve years, including, among others, “Character Quality Language Arts” and “Meaningful Composition.” The two of them own and operate a homeschooling publishing company and cottage class provider, Training for Triumph; Christian parenting ministry/seminar, “Character Training From the Heart”; and “Positive Parenting” blog. Additionally, the couple has written a homeschooling book entitled, “The Well- Trained Heart.” They have graduated six students (as of May 2013!) who are involved in occupations, ministries, and marriages that exemplify the relational, character-based parenting and homeschooling approach that they were raised with. They live near Fort Wayne, Indiana where they test their homeschool curricula with over one hundred students every year, blog about parenting and language arts, write and publish books for homeschoolers, spend tons of time with all seven of their kids, and help homeschoolers and parents in their area in any way they can.
	James Glenn is a teacher at heart who finds great fulfillment in homeschooling his six children with wife, Jennifer. He has studied and worked alongside families as a ministry program leader, mentor, speaker, author and counselor for the last 18 years. As Midwest Regional Admissions Director for College Plus, he is able to pursue his passion for helping students make wise decisions, and their calling, and become the best they can be.
	Bryan Hart's mission is to help develop an educational process that inspires students to “Lead, Learn, and Live for Christ.” Growing up in Memphis, TN and in the public educational system, he questioned the low expectation, factory-like format of modern schooling. Now, Bryan envisions an educational process that focuses on enabling youth to develop a strong understanding of their personal gifts and how to honor God by using those gifts in business, politics, the church and the family. As a father of 5 and a coach, speaker, and developer for College Plus he hopes to help build and spread this vision of revolutionary education.
	Jeff and Amy Minard are homeschooling their seven children, toddler to seventeen. While they are far enough down the 'homeschooling road' to have learned many things that work well (and some that don't), the beginning days are still fresh in their minds. They hope to share their enthusiasm for home education with parents who are just catching the vision for teaching their own children at home.
