Heather Woodie is not a new face around here. Last spring, as part of the Ultimate Guide to Homeschool Methods, she told us all about the unit study approach to homeschooling and why it has been a great fit for her family.

HSP 19 Heather Woodie: A Project Is Worth a Thousand WorksheetsPinToday she gives us even more of a peek into her homeschool with four children, ranging from 5th grade all the way up through high school. She tells us what learning looks like in her house, where the emphasis is on tapping into her kids’ curiosity and creativity as they immerse themselves in authentic high-interest projects.

This interview gave me so much food for thought about my own approach to learning; I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
