Teen Track - Time-Wise Teens: Simple Systems That Actually Work(Friday Jun 12, 4:15 PM-5:00 PM)

Will Estrada

Bio:

Will began his legal career working for HSLDA in January 2004 as a legal assistant to HSLDA Senior Counsel Scott Woodruff. After graduating from Oak Brook College of Law and Government Policy with his Juris Doctor in 2006, he moved on to direct HSLDA’s Federal Relations department and serve as HSLDA’s federal lobbyist.

Will worked as a career federal employee in the Office for Civil Rights at the US Department of Health and Human Services from 2018 to 2021. In November of 2021, he resigned from the federal government and was selected by the Board of ParentalRights.org to serve as the first full-time president of ParentalRights.org and the Parental Rights Foundation.

In June of 2023, Will decided to return to his roots at HSLDA, this time serving as a senior counsel and contact attorney for HSLDA members in the states of California, Georgia, Illinois, Maryland, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Wyoming, as well as Washington DC. He works to make homeschooling possible for thousands of member families and hundreds of thousands of homeschool students by advocating in state legislatures for homeschool freedom, working to ensure that homeschool graduates are treated equally, and that the laws protecting the rights of homeschool families are followed by government officials.

Will is a member of the following state and federal bars: U.S. Supreme Court, First Circuit Court of Appeals, Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals, California, and District of Columbia. In June of 2023, Will was selected by Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin to serve a four-year term on the Board of Visitors of Christopher Newport University in Newport News, Virginia.

Will is a homeschool graduate from Pennsylvania. He and his wife, Rachel (a homeschool graduate from Virginia), homeschool their two sons in Northern Virginia.

Andrew Pudewa

Bio:

Andrew Pudewa is the founder and director of the Institute for Excellence in Writing. Presenting around the world, he addresses issues relating to teaching, writing, thinking, and spelling with clarity, insight, practical experience, and humor. His seminars for parents, students, and teachers have helped transform many a reluctant writer and have equipped educators with powerful tools to dramatically improve students’ skills. Although he is a graduate of the Talent Education Institute in Japan (Suzuki Method) and holds a Certificate of Child Brain Development, his best endorsement is from a young Alaskan boy who called him “the funny man with the wonderful words.”

He and his beautiful, heroic wife, Robin, homeschooled their seven children and are now proud grandparents of nineteen, making their home in Northeastern Oklahoma’s picturesque Green Country.

Adapting the Playbook for Special Needs Students – Don’t Move the Goal, Modify the Play(Thursday Jun 11, 11:00 AM-11:45 AM)

Dr. Roger and Jan Smith

Bio:

Roger and Jan Smith, of Gilbert, Louisiana, married in college before entering medical school. Roger practices Internal Medicine and Pediatrics in a small community, while Jan runs the family businesses and horse farm.

The Smiths feel that their four adult children are their greatest accomplishment. Choosing to homeschool from the very start, and continuing through high school, the Smiths say this made all the difference in their family. The strong relationship the children share with one another and with their parents show the grace of God, and that homeschooling is worth the investment of time and energy.

Roger and Jan address groups about marriage, family, homeschooling, and leadership—things they have made a life study. Both Roger and Jan have been mentors at a local faith-based substance abuse program and at their church, and they are committed to a life of hospitality.

Roger is author of Parenting with Influence, has a weekly video blog on parenting (YouTube and Facebook @ParentingMattersNow), and has a podcast, Parenting Matters Now, that airs three times weekly, sharing parenting tips “a few minutes at a time.”

The Smiths currently serve on the board for the National Alliance of Christian Home Education Leaders.

Discipline That Draws Children Closer(Saturday Jun 13, 1:15 PM-2:00 PM)

Dr. Roger Smith

Bio:

Roger and Jan Smith, of Gilbert, Louisiana, married in college before entering medical school. Roger practices Internal Medicine and Pediatrics in a small community, while Jan runs the family businesses and horse farm.

The Smiths feel that their four adult children are their greatest accomplishment. Choosing to homeschool from the very start, and continuing through high school, the Smiths say this made all the difference in their family. The strong relationship the children share with one another and with their parents show the grace of God, and that homeschooling is worth the investment of time and energy.

Roger and Jan address groups about marriage, family, homeschooling, and leadership—things they have made a life study. Both Roger and Jan have been mentors at a local faith-based substance abuse program and at their church, and they are committed to a life of hospitality.

Roger is author of Parenting with Influence, has a weekly video blog on parenting (YouTube and Facebook @ParentingMattersNow), and has a podcast, Parenting Matters Now, that airs three times weekly, sharing parenting tips “a few minutes at a time.”

The Smiths currently serve on the board for the National Alliance of Christian Home Education Leaders.
