CONSULTATIONS
“We are waking up to our duties and in proportion as mothers become more highly educated and efficient, they will doubtless feel the more strongly that the education of their children during the first six years of life is an undertaking hardly to be entrusted to any hands but their own. And they will take it up as their profession––that is, with the diligence, regularity, and punctuality which men bestow on their professional labours.
That the mother may know what she is about, may come thoroughly furnished to her work, she should have something more than a hearsay acquaintance with the theory of education, and with those conditions of the child’s nature upon which such theory rests.”
Charlotte Mason in Parents and Children
If you need support implementing or strengthening a Hispanic identity in your Charlotte Mason school/curriculum, let us know!
We can offer consultations for school and homeschool educators, providing practical ideas to apply the Charlotte Mason method in Hispanic and/or bilingual contexts. Jo has experience seeking living books, identifying key cultural elements to include in school curricula and overarching school plans, planning bilingual curricula, and more. She includes unpublished translations of key documents from the PNEU, and material that is customized for each consultation, reflecting hours of research, study, and translation.
Our focus is on the following students,
- English-speaking, Hispanic-heritage students
- Spanish-speaking Heritage speakers or recent immigrants to the United States
- Bilingual, bi-cultural students with one or both parents speaking Spanish
It is perfectly possible to create a CM education that is faithful to your students’ origins, language(s), and/or culture(s). With our help, you may start here:
- Discovering how the CM principles connect with a CM education in a 21st-century school or homeschool room
- Applying basic tenets of a CM education within a Hispanic and/or bilingual household in the USA in light of areas of interest or personal concern
- Brainstorming about cultural background, family, and national history, and its application to the school program
- Learning the History of the United States and/or the Americas in such a way that can be applied to your particular cultural identity
- Identifying themes or topics of study for each subject of the wide feast, and potential resources that are culturally relevant and that comply with CM standards
- Addressing cultural myths and ideas about education, religion, and the upbringing of children when applying CM principles within a Hispanic or bilingual/bicultural school or homeschool room
- Setting models or patterns for a future school program that encompasses the needs and wants of the education you have in mind

Our Calendar is currently open for consultations. Consults are $50/hour via Phone or Zoom (our volunteer ministry work absorbs much of the cost), and they include a written document with lists of resources and lifetime access to the recording of the consultation session. Please note if a follow-up call or further research is needed, an additional cost may be added accordingly.
