About
Hi! My name is Aurora Beattie and I live in South Davis County, Utah. I am a homeschool mama of over 17 years. Though I have been in theater in some way most of my life, over the last 13 years I have taught theater in homeschool communities, a private school, and at a community theater. The last 8 years I have taught Shakespeare specifically as well as various LEMI Leadership Projects (Leadership Education Mentoring Insitute).
I enjoy continuing education as a life long journey and hope through my classes to inspire my students to do the same. I continue to "brush up" my skills by participating in various training, taking classes through local venues, being part of the greater theater community, and taking classes offered through continuing education resources.
I started Homespun Education 15 years ago as a journaling blog of my homeschooling adventures. I have recently revived it as a homeschool resource for Junior High and High School familes. I have a daughter that graduated from Homeschool (Beattie Family Academy) and went on to college where she maintained a 4.0 GPA and served an LDS mission to Brazil.
I hope to add love and joy to those who invite me to walk their educational journey with them. I love edcuation! I love young minds! I believe edcation starts with hearts first and then the mind.
