About Jennie O'Bryan
(Top Expert on this page)

Expertise
I am able to answer a wide range of questions regarding curriculum, educational styles, publicly funded homeschool resources centers, some general questions regarding policy and legality issues, unskooling and freeskool models, and more.

Experience
I am an instructor with years of experience teaching in a variety of non-traditional settings (i.e. homeschool or unschool groups, community college programs for the under 18 crowd, libraries, museums, etc). I write curriculum for a variety of subjects, I recently ended employment with a children's museum as an education and curriculum director so that I could start a freeskool for kids ages 5-12. I also have two children (7 and 14) and have participated in a wide range of homeschool/unskool models as a parent.

Education/Credentials
High School, Some college, and a general thirst for knowledge and personal enrichment.
