<h2><a title="Online registration is now open for the 2012 InHome Conference!" href="http://homeeducatorsconference.org/article/online-registration-now-open-2012-inhome-conference">Online registration is now open for the 2012 InHome Conference!</a></h2>

<p>You are invited to participate in a truly unique  experience that embraces the non-sectarian homeschooling community. The  15th InHome Conference is scheduled for March 15th to 17th, 2012, at the  luxurious Pheasant Run Resort and Spa in St. Charles, Illinois.</p>
<p>Whether you&#8217;ve been homeschooling for years or are just starting  out, you do not want to miss this event! This year&#8217;s InHome Conference  features new workshops, along with popular ones from the past, for all  ages. Children will love the wide variety of interests that will be  explored from theatre to nature to LEGOs (and much more). Teens will  enjoy reconnecting with old friends and making new ones. Adults will  appreciate the learning seminars, the sharing of information, and the  support as they engage with other like-minded homeschooling parents.</p>
<p>This year, Ac•Rock will bring a rockin&#8217; opening to the conference. Performing everyone&#8217;s favorite classic rock hits, this <em>a cappella</em> quartet sings the doo-wop standards audiences expect and more recent rock hits you might not expect to be performed by an <em>a cappella</em> group. Their shows are an engaging mix of tightly-crafted music and freewheeling humor that appeals to audiences of all ages.</p>
<p>And don&#8217;t miss out on all the other “extras”. From the opening night  Meet &amp; Greet to dancing the night away with both a family and teen  dance to watching the kids strut their stuff in the talent shows, there  is fun to be had by everyone.</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t delay, log in and go to the registration link today to sign up for the best homeschooling conference in the Midwest!</p>

<p>Next week! This ICHE sponsored event is coming soon, and if you can&#8217;t attend in person you can register to attend online. Steve Demme is an incredible speaker and well worth taking the time out of your weekend to give a listen.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.iche.org/sites/iche.org/files/imce/body_pic/demme3.jpg" alt="" width="261" height="173" /></p>
<p>Please join ICHE and CHOSEN, the Freeport area support group, in welcoming<br />
<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.buildingfaithfamilies.org/" target="_blank">Steve Demme</a> to the greater Rockford area!</p>
<p>Steve will be sharing his unique and encouraging insights on family  life.  Steve and his wife have raised four sons by God&#8217;s grace.  He has  worked as a math teacher and a pastor, but many know him as the author  and founder of <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.mathusee.com/" target="_blank">Math-U-See</a>.</p>
<p>The desire of Steve&#8217;s heart is to see a balanced bilblical view of  the family restored.  We are very excited to hear from a man who has  seen first hand how our homes and families can be impacted by the love  and grace of our Savior.</p>
<p>Check out their website for all of the details about this <a href="http://www.iche.org/events/2469/02-10-2012/2012-family-discipleship-seminar" target="_blank">family discipleship seminar</a>.</p>
<p><strong>This event is an exciting first for ICHE. </strong><br />
<strong>If you cannot attend in person, we are offering a live webstream of the event!</strong></p>
<p>To view the live webstream, register online and check the box that  says live stream at the end of the registration form.  You will receive  an email shortly before the event with instructions on accessing the  website and video stream.</p>

<p>Tracy  is the widow of Christopher Klicka, who was Senior Counsel of Home  School Legal Defense Association. Married 21 years, they were blessed  with seven children, whom they homeschooled since their birth. Through  many trials over the years (including the near-death of their twins  during her pregnancy and Chris&#8217; struggles with multiple sclerosis),  Tracy has learned firsthand what walking by faith is all about. She has  seen over and over again the outpouring of God&#8217;s grace in her life, and  the precious importance of the Scriptures in sustaining and empowering  believers. Her message for moms is one of hope and joy in God, who is  able to make all grace abound to us (II Corinthians 9:8). She has  written dozens of articles, has been interviewed on both national and  international media, and has spoken at numerous state home school  conventions to encourage women to see God&#8217;s faithfulness as they take  him at His Word.</p>
<p>We  are planning a special day for you.  It begins at 8:00 a.m. with check  in and a coffee time for fellowship followed by speaker sessions at 9:00  a.m.  During the day, you will be challenged in your walk with the  Lord, enjoy the blessings of fellowship, and partake of a delicious  brunch served by wonderful volunteers.  The last session will be  finished by 3:00 p.m.  We want you to be encouraged to trust in the Lord  as He leads you down the path He has chosen for you.  Daughters ages 12  and over are encouraged to attend with their mothers.</p>
<p>Invite a friend, and register now at <a href="http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?llr=ldmbltcab&amp;et=1109070468943&amp;s=1080&amp;e=001x9uUm3bkWMpaTqsgswtSCJB-Z0KMF-CtUHmKQHLsj5s54D4WYhVIuBIGUxR4SMla3v9GpMQaPrf3uCgEEeym2ToIGAWvYE9UT56E5ezuJNo=" target="_blank">www.iche.org</a> .  The registration deadline is January 21, 2012.  Please be praying  for our ICHE Ladies&#8217; Midwinter Renewal and for our speaker, Tracy  Klicka.  We are so much looking forward to seeing you later this month.</p>
<p>Blessings,</p>
<p>The ICHE Ladies&#8217; Midwinter Renewal Committee</p>

&#8220;Homeschooling: Discovering How and Why it Works&#8221;<br />
By Dr. Jay Wile</div>
<p>Dr. Wile became involved in the homeschooling movement because of the excellent homeschool graduates he encountered <img src="http://www.homeschoolvendors.org/speaker_pages/SpeakerPics/jaywile.jpg" border="0" alt="" hspace="5" vspace="5" width="98" height="133.2" align="left" /> while he was on the faculty at Ball State University.  Over the years,  he has followed the academic and professional literature to see how  others have evaluated homeschooled students, and the results are clear:  homeschooling works very well.  On average, homeschooled students are  academically superior to their peers, and they are also socially  well-adjusted.  In this talk, Dr. Wile reviews some of the studies that  demonstrate these facts, and he also discusses why homeschooling works  so well.</p>

<div><span style="line-height: 16px; font-family: verdana,sans-serif;">Many of you are fortunate enough  to attend a homeschool convention this year and will get to enjoy the  overwhelming vendor hall atmosphere. But, just because finances,  scheduling conflicts or travel arrangement have kept you from attending  this year doesn&#8217;t mean you have to miss out on the vendor hall  experience. I&#8217;ll be booth hopping right from home at the Schoolhouse  Expo, and I&#8217;m not even attending the expo (which is sold out, btw). </span></div>
<div><span style="line-height: 16px; font-family: verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<p>If you&#8217;re  researching or buying homeschool curriculum, you have to check out the <a href="http://www.schoolhouseexpo.com/?page_id=180">Vendor Hall</a> at  the Schoolhouse Expo! It&#8217;s open to everyone. Browse through companies  such as Rainbow Resource, WriteShop, Apologia, Latin Road, Phonics Road,  Multiplication Shake, Go Phonics, and MANY MORE!</p>
<p>Latin Road,  Phonics Road has freebies in their booth. Rainbow Resource has a free  shipping offer. Spears Art Studio has a free CD. Real Science by  Gravitas has a 25% discount coupon.</p>
<p>There is just so much to see.  Stop by and meet the virtual hostess from each company, browse their  selection, and look for &#8220;conference specials&#8221;.</span></p>
<div><span style="line-height: 16px; font-family: verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<p><span style="line-height: 16px; font-family: verdana,sans-serif;">You don&#8217;t even need your walking  shoes or suitcase to lug your purchases in! Be sure to check out the <a href="http://www.schoolhouseexpo.com/?page_id=180">Schoolhouse Expo  Vendor Hall</a>.<br />
