Plan It Out
6 Steps to Designing Your Holistic Homeschooling Year
And Done with Ease!
As a homeschooling parent, you've stepped onto a path of creativity and wonder…
You hope for a flowing rhythm, joyful lessons, and a learning experience that truly nourishes your children.
You’re ready to bring an approach that lights you up ~ to gather resources and customize homeschooling for your family.
But: How?
It’s time to PLAN ~ and this time around you want EASE. Am I right?
What you don't want is to spend tons of time obsessing over which curriculum to buy or which story to read...
And if you have more than one child in more than one grade!?!
It's enough to make a mother go out and buy dull, boring workbooks! (Or stay up until 2 am searching and searching.)
If you’ve spent too many late nights exploring resources and searching for what to do for your next lesson block: That’s totally normal!
But it doesn’t have to be your normal anymore...
What if you could have a peaceful homeschool planning experience?
Simple. Complete. Flexible.
Imagine the overwhelm just fading away…
Imagine knowing just what to do...
Imagine piecing it all together in a solid plan that works for YOU.

Prepare your homeschool lessons in just a few short weeks. Yes, that really is possible!
In this course, I walk you through the six steps to planning that I created for myself during my 25 years of homeschooling three children (two boys and a girl).
You can work through the lessons at your own pace, on your own schedule.
For each lesson, you simply watch one or two videos and then complete an action step to help you create your unique plan. It's that simple!
AND: along the way as you plan, you get coaching from me and feedback from other homeschoolers in our private Facebook community and on our live calls for all the questions and guidance you need.
Plan It Out is a step-by-step system that helps parents like you confidently build out homeschool lessons without the draining effects of confusion and overwhelm.
Let’s explore more...
In this course, I walk you through six steps to designing your holistic homeschooling year.
These are the steps I created for myself over a couple of decades of homeschooling!
And, I've helped hundreds of parents work through these steps to create a doable and sustainable plan for their homeschool.
The steps spell the acronym B.R.I.D.L.E. to help us rein in our overly active imaginations! So we can save our energy for the actual lessons and for connecting with our children.
Step One: Blocks*
Step Two: Resources & Rhythm
Step Three: Inner Work
Step Four: Daily Rhythm
Step Five: Lively Arts Lessons
Step Six: Environment Set Up
* Step One has a basis in the Waldorf approach, meaning that it includes instructions on creating "main lesson blocks." This can easily translate to unit studies and project-based learning. Or even monthly themes if you have younger children. 😉

Read MoreWhat an incredible resource! Jean has the gift of conciseness and detail. Plan It Out helped me focus precisely on each area with the understanding of whys and hows... while also not getting hung up on either. This resource is delivered to the heart and mind... I now have better organization, clarity, and connection to my deep inner values for homeschooling. Thank you Jean!

Read MoreThank you... Thank you Jean Miller! Your course was so important to our entire family. You continually simplified our plan and always had such a thoughtful, inspired and well balanced answer for every question that we had. I loved how the course was laid out in tiny manageable bites. It was never overwhelming and I previously spent WAY more time worrying and over-thinking than it took me to plan out our entire year. I really liked that we can have our whole year planned and ready to go and then we can enjoy our summer months to really enjoy each other and play without the looming concern of school planning. The plan and ideas we learned held all year. We are able to have a framework that was movable if we needed. The continued community of support was INVALUABLE. Do not hesitate to take this course... it {and dearest JEAN} is worth its {her} weight in homeschooling GOLD! I am signing up for our second year as we speak. Thank you again, Jean... you have made our homeschooling planning process something that I am truly looking forward to this year!

Read MoreJean has created a wonderful program to help tame the whirlwind of planning. Last year was my first time planning first grade and I had such a horrible time trying to figure out where to start and how to stay focused. This year already feels so different, thanks to Jean's course! The videos and calls have been tremendously helpful. I feel confident that I will start the school year prepared. All of my questions have been answered thoroughly. I highly recommend this course to anyone who feels overwhelmed with the homeschool planning process. Thanks so much to Jean for creating such a wonderful course!

Read MoreThe structure of this course is founded on years of experiential learning, for which there is no replacement. As a beginning homeschooler, I felt at ease with the process. It's hard to imagine how I would have pieced the school year together in such an organized fashion without Plan it Out. The pace of the course is steady and allows for real personal growth. I could not recomend a more complete approach to Waldorf homeschool planning. Jean is so enjoyable to work with- an honest wisdom with a clear passion for learning. Our homeschool plans are deeply enriched, what a blessing.

Read MoreI am so thankful I had the opportunity to participate in this course. As a Mom of three preparing to embark on first grade, I leave this course with confidence and a year planned out. We not only created a big picture plan to guide our year, but also sculpted our weekly and daily rhythms. The Facebook group gave opportunity for fruitful daily discussions about the nitty-gritty of home life while schooling. The live calls were my favorite part. I know I am not the only one who left uplifted and significantly less anxious than before the call began. Jean is lovely, helpful, and gives you the confidence you need to do this. I highly recommend!

Read MoreI feel that this course fills a need within the Waldorf homeschooling community for a neutral space (not associated with a specific curriculum provider) where people can share the experience of planning their own unique Waldorf year together. Jean brings a can-do spirit and a real knack for helping you find economy in your teaching. I enjoyed the connection built with fellow Waldorf home educators...the live calls bring an energy amongst the group that builds over the 3 weeks, and I think that is immensely helpful in keeping one motivated. Highly recommend!

Read MoreI appreciated Jean's gentle and encouraging approach in guiding us through the essential steps for planning a good homeschool year. She has a way of keeping things simple, while being thorough. The course is helpful to both new and seasoned homeschoolers, and the combination of pre-recorded videos, printable lists, live videos, and online discussion with Jean and other participants was so helpful!

Hi, I'm Jean, mother of three, experienced homeschool educator, and homeschooling mentor. We started homeschooling back in the 1990s - yup, awhile ago!
I have a Master of Arts in Teaching and have taught in public and private schools. I experimented with various educational methods and settings, but when I discovered Waldorf education ~ that was it for me.
And when I brought it home to my own children, it was the most magical (and challenging) time of my life!
During the last 20 years, I've helped thousands of parents find their way to thriving in homeschooling, no matter the methodology or approach you choose.
In 2013, I founded the Art of Homeschooling, where I offer online courses, coaching, planning tools, an online support community, and in-person retreats.
I live in northeastern Ohio with my husband (all three kids are now in their 20s + 30s!) where I love to hike, sing, read, and cook!
I feel incredibly honored to support so many families in homeschooling, parenting, and forging connections with our children.
Whether you've purchased a curriculum package, have multiple curriculum resources on your shelves, or are ready to piece together your own curriculum plan, Plan It Out will help you bring it all together.
The reason why so many homeschool parents are overwhelmed, over-planning, or stuck is that they haven't taken the time to tailor their lessons to the real needs of their families.
We forget to make our homeschool plans sustainable and enjoyable!
This course offers 6 simple steps to keep you moving forward.
You'll learn a system you can use for the REST of your homeschooling life!
Here's a peak at a few things you'll create during Plan It Out:
We've seriously got you covered!
Yes, you can join Inspired at Home anytime and work through the lessons at your own pace, on your own schedule. You can also choose to participate in future group live rounds as long as you're a member of the I@H community. Each year in June & July, I take everyone through the steps over 6 weeks, with one step per week.
That depends on how you want to do it! My suggestion is that you work through the lessons at your own pace (one or two per week works great) AND participate in the next live round. You can also rewatch lessons any time you want. You'll have access to the lessons and the private Facebook Group as long as you're a member of Inspired at Home.
To work through the six steps, you might need about 30 minutes to watch and read the material, and another 30 minutes to an hour to complete the action step for each lesson. That's 1-3 hours per week for the lessons over three or six weeks time. But of course, you can work through this program however you wish!
You have access to the course curriculum and the private Facebook Group as long as you're a member of Inspired at Home. And you'll also have access to a treasure trove of 35+ masterclasses inside the membership!
If you've purchased Plan It Out as a separate course in the past, you have lifetime access to everything inside. If you want to join in the group coaching calls, please come join the Inspired at Home community.
