Corin Goodwin’s Summary
My goal is to help families recognize the unique intellectual and social-emotional needs of their child(ren) and assist them in finding or creating an educational environment in which the child can thrive, and which works for the family as a whole.
In addition to serving as executive director of the non-profit Gifted Homeschoolers Forum, I write articles, give presentations and workshops for small groups and at conferences.
I joined the board of Josephine Community Libraries so that I can bring my expertise to bear on the need to have open, functioning libraries in the county in which I am raising my children.
