Heather Shanks aka Professor MomHi!  I'm Heather Shanks, also known as Professor Mom.

I created Professor Mom as a resource to empower homeschooling parents by offering them knowledge, products and other tools.  I am a homeschooling mom and former university instructor who knows that teaching your child at home is a challenging job.  Solid academics is only one piece of the puzzle.  Raising children up in goodness and faith is just as much of a challenge as the academic piece.  Sometimes it makes all the difference to have a source of inspiration and encouragement. 

That is who Professor Mom is.  A homeschooling mom, just like you.  A source of ideas and information.  A sounding board for questions.  A resource on what works for hands-on learning and a place to source what you need to create the inspired learning experience that you want for your children.

I have combined years of best practice research in academic curriculum, character education, and learning styles to provide moms (and dads:-) with the support they need for the homeschooling journey.  Whether you are new to homeschooling or a veteran, teaching young children or high-schoolers, you will find something for you here at Professor Mom. 

If you'd like to see something on the site, drop me a note... I'll be glad to look into it!  Check out the Library and enjoy some reading, browse through our products, or follow my blog where you can interact with me and the other Professor Moms.
God's peace to you, Heather
