Workshops for parents: come with questions, leave with a working plan.

Invently workshops are practical, one-morning sessions for homeschool parents, led live by Brian Carlson, a certified elementary teacher. No theory tours and no product pitches — we work on your actual homeschool, together, and you leave with a plan you made and can start on Monday.

$47 per family — both parents welcome on the one registration.

How a workshop works, step by step

1

Step 1 — Register.

One registration covers your whole family. Tell us on the form what you most want to work on.

2

Step 2 — Show up live, on Zoom, on a Saturday morning.

Bring a notebook, your curriculum list if you have one, and your questions.

3

Step 3 — Learn it, then build it.

Brian teaches the framework in plain language, then you build your own version on the spot, with time to ask about your family's situation.

4

Step 4 — Leave with the plan.

You walk away with the plan you made, the templates to keep it running, and answers to the questions you walked in with.

Our first workshop: the Build-It Workshop

Saturday, November 7, 2026 — families spent one morning building a working plan for their homeschool: what to teach, in what order, on what rhythm, with the paperwork accounted for. That is the shape of every Invently workshop: one clear job, done in one morning, at one family price — $47 per family. New workshop dates are announced to the email list first, and events like our executive-functioning webinar are posted here as they are scheduled.

Taught by a teacher, priced per family

Every workshop is taught live by Brian Carlson — certified elementary teacher in Illinois and Texas, M.S. in Education, ten years in K–5 classrooms. The price is per family because the plan belongs to the whole family; both parents are welcome on one registration. And the standing honesty line applies here too: workshops are teaching and support for your homeschool — you remain your child's school of record.

Questions parents ask about workshops

Who are workshops for?

Homeschool parents — new, seasoned, or still deciding. If you homeschool in any state and want one part of it planned properly in a single morning, a workshop is built for you.

Do both parents need to register?

No. Registration is $47 per family, and both parents are welcome on the one registration. Grandparents who help with homeschooling are welcome too.

What do I need to bring?

A notebook, your curriculum list if you have one (and if you do not, that is what we are here to fix), and your questions. Everything else is provided.

I cannot make the next date. How do I hear about the following one?
