Michele has over thirty years of experience with homeschooling teens and graduating them to productive and prosperous lives. She is the Founder of Homeschool Directive and coaches many parents to help give the best educational experience for their high school learners.

Michele believes that individualized curriculum gives teens the freedom to choose their courses while meeting graduation requirements. Michele values instruction and curriculum that honors an individual child's interests, progress, and learning needs. Michele shares what led to her decision to homeschool her children and their personal experiences with learning challenges and how they persevered.
