Ep.48 ft Worldschooling With Tawana Davis
Welcome back. This week I invited Tawana Davis, Founder of Kingdom Kidz Online Academy, to share her experience with worldschooling and educating children. Tawana is an experienced educator of ten plus years, entrepreneur, wife, and mother of six. She is an avid believer that education starts within the home and that it is a lifestyle filled with discovery. She believes that God's kingdom is in each child and that parents should support children in their faith walk and experience to become righteous educated leaders.
As a worldschooler, Tawana and her family have lived abroad in the countries of Egypt and Jordan for over ten years. Tawana has previously educated children in public and private schools in China and Egypt.
In This Episode
In this episode we discussed a few ways parents can educate their children in the subjects of stem, history and reading. Tawana shared a few ideas to help parents create at-home curriculums that are creative and education centered. We discussed how parents can gamify subjects like spelling and math by playing Tic Tac Toe and Mother May I. We also talked about Tawana's family's worldschool experience in the country of Egypt and her desire to help people in underserved countries. Tawana believes that children learn according to their individual unique gifts that they received from birth.
