In the student Q&amp;A panel and showcase, attendees will have the opportunity to directly ask homeschooled students of different ages about their experiences, and students will have the opportunity to share what has and hasn&#39;t worked for them, and showcase their proudest work and accomplishments. &nbsp; The final session will be a focused strategy meeting where attendees will be guided through building a homeschool daily/weekly/monthly plan. Key opportunities throughout the year will be discussed in a shared calendar, along with tips on how to pace the year and how to select and prepare for various educational events and opportunities.&nbsp; This summit is an opportunity to build meaningful connections with other Muslim homeschooling families, ask questions in a welcoming environment, exchange ideas, and become part of Ottawa&#39;s growing homeschool community.
