Co-oping For Cowards: Instruction Guide by Pat Wesolowski and Karin Carpenter. Stress Free Homeschooling is every mother's dream. This book can help make that dream a reality. This resource booklet and accompanying video explain how learning as a family (not in separate classes, but in a multi-age group with all the parents participating) in a co-op setting encourages self-motivated scholars, builds confident public speakers, and provides a real-world reason to research, write and present material. Warning: Co-ops are addictive. You and your kids will love them. The Appendix provides reproducible maps, timelines, certificates and other tools to make your co-oping adventure easier.

The Authors:Veteran Homeschooling mother of nine, Pat Wesolowski shares her experience . . . that getting kids excited about learning, then teaching them how to research, organize and prepare information makes home schooling "real" and much less stressful. Her Information, Please! book series has helped countless homeschooling families conquer a variety of research skills. But, according to Pat, preparing students to speak boldly in public is the real joy of co-oping. A frequent public speaker herself at homeschool conventions and support groups around the country, Pat credits her co-op experience with preparing her daughter to earn college scholarship money at a state speaking contest. Pat has published more than a dozen books, including Big Ideas Small Budget, Inventors, Inventions, & Entrepreneurs: A Research-Based Unit Study and Civil War: A Unit Study.

Karin Carpenter is an "almost" second generation home school mother of four. Her mother home schooled her youngest brother back in the days when folks asked, "Is that legal?" A graduate of Bryan College wtih a degree in English/Secondary Education, she has taught math, Bible, and, of course, English, on the junior high, high school and college level. She also teaches a home school writing seminar designed for a mother/student team titled, "Get It Together: The Research Paper." It is coming out shortly in book format.
