Kami Harris – Empower Your Educational Journey

Today, we're diving deep into the heart of homeschooling with Kami Harris, a beacon of wisdom and guidance in the homeschooling community. I'm thrilled to have Kami here to share her extraordinary journey with us. From her initial path toward becoming a teacher to making the bold leap into homeschooling, Kami's story is nothing short of inspiring. She embarked on this adventure when she recognized that the traditional education system just wasn't cutting it for her eldest daughter. That realization was the spark that ignited her passion for a more personalized, hands-on approach to education. Over the years, Kami has truly embraced the essence of homeschooling. She didn't just stop at teaching her own kids; she went on to start a homeschooling community in her local area, deeply immersing herself in Leadership Education and Leadership Education Mentoring Institute (LEMI). But what's perhaps most exciting is Kami's latest chapter. As her own children step beyond the homeschooling threshold, Kami is now channeling her vast experience into coaching other parents embarking on their homeschooling journeys. Kami's philosophy is rooted in empowering parents and students alike. She champions agency, choice, and tailoring education to fit each child's individual needs, all underpinned by the principles of leadership education. So, buckle up, listeners, as we explore the depths of homeschooling with Kami Harris, a true mentor and advocate for educational transformation.
