Episode 140: The Importance of Personalized Learning, with Amir Nathoo of Outschool
Hiya, sisters! We are excited to bring this week's episode to your earbuds because we know we have oodles of Outschool fans in the Sisters community. And if you haven't heard of Outschool yet, you're going to want to pull up a chair and get comfy for a second because we might just rock your homeschool world. 
In this week's episode, we welcome Amir Nathoo, founder and CEO of Outschool. What a fun conversation it was! We chat about education, learning, and the sheer joy of a personalized education. Amir shares his experience with a traditional educational path and also shares how alternative paths, like the homeschool movement, have helped to shape the Outschool experience. We also discuss how a child's uniqueness, or quirkiness, is something to treasure and how this uniqueness might transform into desired skills when our kiddos enter the job market.

Episode 137: For The Child Who Is NOT College Bound, with Shawna Wingert
 
What if you are homeschooling a child who doesn't plan on attending college? How do you create a non-college-bound educational track for your child, especially in high school? How does one document this type of learning? How do you field questions and comments about your child's future? If you have a tween or teen with learning challenges, is it okay to stretch high school beyond the traditional four years?
 
In this week's episode, Cait shares a question submitted to the site and phones a friend. Shawna Wingert is our homeschool cousin. She's been on the podcast more than any other guest and with good reason! In this episode, Shawna shares her experience with all of the questions mentioned above and more!
