Successful Homeschooling
This is a "keynote" type address to encourage those families who educate their children in their homes to define success according to their convictions. Not only does Jill present philosophical and theological concerns, she presents practical ideas and strategies.

The Upward Spiral
This popular speech is designed to encourage families toward an upward spiral of drawing nearer to God in contrast to a downward spiral of letting that relationship slide. Our choices affect every aspect of our lives from homeschooling, housing, relationships, and "business" transactions.

Lifestyle Learning
Homeschooling should not just be an academic concern. There are techniques and processes which can transform the scholastic-minded to re-think and re-direct their home education program. In a sense, this is an "anti-homeschooling" message. "Let’s not repeat the same mistakes of the mass-produced education systems."

Christ-centered Education
This is a summary presentation including sections of other home education specific topics. Because it is more general in scope, it works well as an opening lecture for an assembly. In it’s standard form it is presented to veteran and new home educators, but can be adapted to either audience specifically.

True Learning
What happens when we learn? Jill presents many of the theories about education and how they compare and influence our teaching styles. Through her extensive research with her special needs son, interviews with thousands of teachers, years of her own teaching experience (including teaching for a state university and home educating for more than fourteen years), she is learning about techniques that work and those that are based on lies. The brain is an amazing gift ¾ Jill presents methods to help us utilize it to become the best we can be. This presentation is for all audiences, not just for those with special or gifted children.

Mission-minded Education
Just as a military unit has a distinct "mission," so each family must develop a clear-cut mission as to what they are to accomplish in their home-education program. This presentation develops through an illustrative parallel contrasting "mission statements" and family purposes. Attendees will leave equipped to begin the process of preparing their own family’s mission statement. Every family should have a mission: a ministry designed by God.

Enabled by God
This message offers hope and encouragement and some practical helps to parents whose children learn differently than the majority. Jill can customize this program for 1) special needs only, 2) gifted, or 3) a combination of both. There is some overlap with this program and the True Learning presentation.
