What if your kid could learn to speak and write powerfully… by eating poems?
This is a different kind of course. It’s not a live class — it’s a do-it-yourself curriculum. When you purchase it, you download a booklet of 20 of Brandon’s favorite poems, links to short videos, and checklists for how to eat them.
See more at our Eating Poems page.
…or take some Genius Workshops
A fresh path between “classical” and “child-led.” These ten fast-paced summer workshops show you how to teach every subject by feeding your child’s deepest hungers — for awe, justice, mastery, belonging, and more. Based on Kieran Egan’s theory of education, this is homeschooling that re-enchants the world and helps your whole family become more fully human.
Dates: July 15 – August 14, 2025
Days: Tuesdays & Thursdays
Time: 3pm Eastern / 12pm Pacific
Workshop Schedule:
July 15 – A new way to see education
July 17 – Geography & history with memory and delight
July 22 – Life & physical science as kinship and wonder
July 24 – Arithmetic and deep problem-solving
July 29 – Foreign language through sound, story, and structure
July 31 – Vocabulary & writing through savoring great sentences
August 5 – Literature as the key to powerful storytelling
August 7 – Art & music as immersive, sensory love
August 12 – Philosophy & world religions as big questions
August 14 – Adulting: how even chores can matter

How can you remember all the math you’ll ever learn?
We want our kids to feel the joy of hard math — to become friends with the problems they struggle with. This is hard to do, because math curriculums (even the best!) treat “forgetting” as an afterthought. What we know from cognitive science, however, is that minds are built to forget. Forgetting isn’t a bug, it’s a feature — a tool to help us learn more.
What if we could weaponize forgetting to learn math more fully — and to love the struggle?
You’ll get the recording right upon purchase. For teachers, parents, and kids. You can also check out Brandon’s substack post: “How to Build a Deep Practice Book”.
You’ll get the recording immediately upon purchase.
ChatGPT is the free AI that’s become the most quickly-adopted technology in history. It’s easy to start using… but it takes expertise & imagination to unlock its powers.
It’s no fad — we think that the people who learn to use this now will be the people who are able to do the most innovative work in the future.
This is a fast-paced, two-hour-long workshop. In it, we’ll take you from noob to 90th-percentile user.
You’ll learn how to…
make its answers fit your brain
avoid some dangers for kids
become more creative than ever
You’ll learn how to incorporate ChatGPT into your schooling or homeschooling. You’ll see how ChatGPT can be particularly useful to people with ADHD or on the autism spectrum.
And you’ll come to understand how it works (which isn’t how it looks like it works), which will help you know when you can trust the information it gives you, and when you can’t.
Most of all, you’ll learn how to make ChatGPT really fun! (We haven’t had this much fun on the internet since the start of the World Wide Web.)
For teachers, parents, and kids.
Now free! (In fact, if you’d like, just jump over to watch them now on YouTube.)
Workshop 1: why is good education so hard, and why are people who care about education so “fighty” — how is it possible for well-meaning people to disagree so profoundly?
Workshop 2: how can we help 3- to 8-year-olds paint a profound picture of the world in their heads?
Workshop 3: how can we help 8- to 15-year-olds geek out about the shiniest bits of reality?
Workshop 4: how can we help kids 15 and older begin to see the world as clearly as scholars?
Workshop 5: how can we help our kids really understand the world?
Kids are welcome to watch, but this is designed for adults, in particular…
teachers of students from preschool through graduate school
anyone who works with 2e, gifted/talented, ADHD, or ASD students
professionals who need to explain complex things to other adults
parents who’d like to help their kids fall in love with learning
Most of all, this is designed for homeschoolers of every stripe — particular reference will be made to classical education, Montessori, Waldorf, Charlotte Mason, unit studies, and unschooling.
