Welcome!
ECHO is an outreach group designed to help families
learn about homeschooling. ECHO provides this support via quarterly
meetings, Yahoo Group communication, and connecting families with
homeschooling support groups.
Our
organization grew out of an unmet need of support for families with
young children. As the years have passed and our own children have
grown, the need for a transformation of the group has been recognized.
According to Research Facts on Homeschooling*, by Brian D. Ray, Ph.D.,
homeschooling may be the fastest-growing form of education in the
United States (at 7% to 12% per year). *Source: www.nheri.org
Those
of you who have been with ECHO for a long time probably realize that we
have been a volunteer-run organization. You have patiently stuck with
us as we have inched along like a caterpillar in the spring. You will
be glad to know that ECHO is ready to come out of its cocoon and fly.
We
hope that the upcoming metamorphosis will inspire our members to
actively participate and benefit from our eclectic community of
Minnesota homeschoolers.
Welcome to Eclectic Community of Homeschooling Opportunities
in Minnesota. Our “extreme homeschool makeover” is about to begin, and
we will be seeking your ideas, suggestions, and contributions. Stay
tuned for more information about ECHO’s transition to your complete
Minnesota homeschooling resource.
