Spotlighting one of our amazing volunteers, Becca Harrison! "Becca is a museum professional in Saint Louis. She works in early childhood education and enjoys spending time outdoors, reading and playing with her son and husband. She is one of the Co-op's Program Coordinators, working primarily with Partnerships and Intern Supervising. She loves that the Co-op provides classes for learners of all ages from all over the world and is excited to help extend the Co-op's reach to more volunteers and learners!" Check out all of our volunteers here! From one of our recent classes, "Vidcode Virtual Coding Club": "I love Coding Club! It is informational, challenging, and fun. It helps a lot to have somebody who can talk to us and show us and help us! This is also a good chance to see how things work, meet new people, and create things that could go on to being real famous masterpieces! Thank you for the amazing classes!" - Slothgirl, age 12 Here are some of Slothgirl's projects! |
A recent feature in Visible Pedagogy, by Inés Vañó García! "After a collaborative class brainstorming ideas for potential topics/themes that students would like to teach (which resulted in a very ambitious and creative list!), we took time to explore the Homeschool Coop, discover who they are, and the type of classes that they had been offering up to that point. My students were drawn to the practical component of the classes, i.e. that participants were learning by doing, as well as the immense variety of topics and the diversity of the audience that was accessing these classes."

"Start preparing for Thanksgiving (it’s never too soon) with the volunteer-run Homeschool Co-op’s online pie crust-making class. During this hourlong seminar, you’ll learn how to make one double crust or two single crusts from scratch. The organizers will send out a recipe in advance so that you can follow along from your kitchen."
