Meet Dawn Jackson, M. Ed

Teaching Grace for the Journey 

​​Dawn Jackson is a veteran homeschool mom and a highly qualified educator with over 20 years of experience as a credentialed teacher and certified LearningSuccess™ coach.

Her journey into homeschooling began not with confidence, but with fear and uncertainty. As a mom determined to do everything "right", Dawn often felt overwhelmed by curriculum choices and plagued by feelings of inadequacy while homeschooling her three children.

Those early years were filled with trial and error, self-doubt, and questioning if she was truly equipped for the task, especially compared to her friends.  But through persistence, research, and years of training, Dawn found true freedom and grace for the journey—and along the way discovered a passion for helping other parents to find freedom and grace in their homeschool.

​​

A Personalized Learning Approach. 

"As a coach for parents teaching their children, I focus on helping families create a personalized learning plan through understanding their child's unique learning disposition. We start  with a simple online assessment for both the child and the parent. This process helps identifies a child's learning preferences, strengths and learning styles. Parents learn to adapt their teaching methods to complement their child's strengths while gently developing areas that need growth.

 

This personalized approach not only enhances academic outcomes but significantly strengthens the parent-child relationship. When parents understand their child's learning disposition, they can respond with greater patience, appropriate expectations, and more effective support. This mutual understanding creates a positive feedback loop where learning becomes a collaborative journey rather than a source of tension.

 

My coaching transforms the learning journey into opportunities for deeper connection and success filled homeschooling, turning everyday teaching moments into relationship-building experiences that benefit both parent and child for years to come."

 

Today, Dawn draws on her personal experience and professional expertise to equip and empower parents navigating the world of home education. With a master’s degree in Special Education and General Education and extensive training and certifications in diverse learning styles and intrinsic motivation, she helps families discover how their children learn best—as well as those facing learning challenges.

 

Dawn works closely with individual families, co-ops, and homeschool communities, offering practical tools and encouragement to help parents feel confident, capable, and connected in their child’s educational journey.
