Elizabeth Treadwell, Instructor
I am a homeschooling mom and the author of numerous books, mostly of poetry. I have been writing and creating my own books since I was 9 years old. My author site is elizabethtreadwell.com.
I hope to contribute to the joy and sustenance the coming generations will find and create through literature, which I define widely. I have blogged about my work with children here.
I have an MFA in Creative Writing from San Francisco State and a BA in Native American Studies from UC Berkeley. As a young adult, I worked as a nanny and preschool teacher. More recently, I’ve taught creative writing, composition, critical thinking, college skills workshops, and literature at a number of Bay Area colleges, as well as run a literary arts center and edited several literary magazines and a press.
My favorite books about homeschooling are Child's Work: Taking Children's Choices Seriously, by Nancy Wallace, and I Learn Better by Teaching Myself...and Still Teaching Ourselves, by Agnes Leistico. I also like Free Range Learning: How Homeschooling Changes Everything by Laura Grace Weldon.
