HOW I FACILITATE MATH LEARNING DIFFERENTLY
Math is BEST Learned Through Real Life Practical Use and Application. In Contrast, Traditional Math is Taught Through Painful Lectures, Industrialized Textbooks, Drills and Testing with Hours of Family Time Robbed Through Mind Numbing Homework...

Our Mission
Back in 2003, I was a burnt out brick and mortar private school teacher looking out across my classroom into the glazed eyes of fifteen 3rd - 5th graders sitting bored in rows of desks while I dragged them through another year's boring curriculum gauntlet.
At the end of the school year, I looked down at my students report cards and the figurative "bloody mess" results from some of my students who couldn't quite pass the year. I had to unfortunately "fail" some of them and keep them back another year. I realized that I had to find a better way.
"Test prep more!"
Just. No.
With the "rules" of education constantly changing and education fads like Common Core galore, I begged, "where's the joy of learning found in all of that? I got frustrated by the amount of work I put into my teaching compared with the learning results I saw in my students dreaded report cards, which I grew to loathe.
In 2017, I decided there had to be a better way, and thus, NatureGlo's eScience progressive relaxed home and school educators online math and science unit study courses and curriculum was born. It's jargon-less open and go PowerPoint lessons for educators and child self-paced online unit study courses (best for ages 8 and up) facilitated by me, NatureGlo, here we go!
If you're a time-strapped homeschool or unschool parent whose kiddos LOVE studying about animals and want a facilitator/tutor to guide them, you're in the right place. Or, if you're a teacher that has gotten frustrated with the mainstream education agenda and red tape to stuff every child into a one-size-fits-all, teaching to the test, and or you're sick and tired of that boxed curriculum, I've been there too. You're in the right place!
How I Escaped the Mainstream Education, "One Size Fits All"!
Back in 2007, I began my progressive education journey by visiting and studying alternative schools such as Sudbury, Free Schools, and Montessori.
In 2010, I left the traditional teaching classroom setting to apprentice and deschool at a homeschool Open Classroom program. I started laying my own educational strategies to create a learning system that works for any homeschool parent or teacher willing to let go of the "foolish schoolish" mindset.
What I believed then: I had to do all of the leading and use coercive methods and rewards to get kids to want to learn.
What I KNOW now: Childhood learning can be easier (and faster) when you have a proven plan, customized to your child's learning interests and needs.
So, how can I help you today?
My name is Gloria Brooks, aka NatureGlo, and I help new & stuck relaxed eclectic homeschool parents and teachers deschool using the world’s simplest and most natural learning strategy, unit studies.
We are in a new era of education, where we no longer need a compulsory brick and mortar school, a mis-matched hired tutor or teacher colleagues (been there too) to have amazing learning experiences for kids - You CAN do it yourself: facilitate your kids learning either online as an independent teacher, in the classroom, or at home with your kiddos.
