Questions and Answers:
(if your question is not answered here, please leave it in comments and I will respond both personally as well as adding it to this list)
Can I access all the albums right away?
Subsequent courses will have this option with the full-payment option.
Will I have access to a mentor?
Yes, each course participant has free access to one-on-one consultations with the course instructor throughout the duration of the course, plus one year. After this time, paid consultations are available. Discussion boards are permanently available.
Can I have a consultation without taking the course?
Yes, paid consultations are available for anyone, regardless of taking the course or not. Costs are based on the consultation needed.
Does anything have a due date?
No due dates - but we provide suggestions. We will provide you the information you need – usually more than enough for the month, so that you can work with your child to the extent your situation allows. Each month, you will receive another set of album pages, with additional information – access it as you need it; it will be there when you are ready for it and you will have permanent access to it.
I have taken Karen’s online course. Why is your cost higher than hers?
The elementary course covers at least ages 6 through 12, and many areas can continue to be used by middle school students. You also have access to a permanent discussion forum and a year's free consulting beyond the duration of your selected course length.
Will this course have any religious slant?
There will be no intentional religious slant to this course, and all religions will be represented fairly. As for evolution and other "hot-topics", adaptations will be provided when available, or an appropriate one will be developed (with the group or with the teacher) so that each person will have suitable album pages and presentations for their particular situation.
So... will this course include any Montessori religious education?
There will be an area in the discussion boards to specifically discuss the use of Montessori for religious education and faith formation. Anyone interested in Catechesis of the Good Shepherd, a Catholic-rooted experience readily adaptable to most Christian denominations, can contact me directly for further information.
