nd her husband Ted have been home educating for 4 years. They have four children ranging from
ages 2 to 8. Shannon has been an elementary public school teacher for 7 years and never would have dreamed of home educating
until she had her own children. She believes it is important that home educators have a support network and also believes that the
AHEA convention is important for providing resources and encouragement to home educators, enabling them to stick with their
convictions. She has been serving the past 6 months as the Speaker Coordinator and hopes to continue in that role.
