Green Bay Area Christian Homeschoolers
and
Celebrate Kids, Inc.
Present
Dr. Kathy Koch
In a Two-Part Seminar:
Got Hope?
And
How Am I Smart?
For Home Educators
Dr. Kathy’s devotion to – and understanding of – kids enables her to minister to parents and children in discovering
and nurturing a child’s areas of strength, as well as working on areas in need of development.
Last year alone, Dr. Kathy brought her ministry to Texas, Alabama, Tennessee, Oklahoma, Georgia, Florida, Albania,
and Hungary; among other events, she spoke at two national educational conventions and one state convention for
home schoolers. We now bring her to Green Bay to share with us the enthusiasm and insight that God has given
her in the areas of children’s core needs and multiple intelligences.
Dr. Kathy’s journey began with her four-year experience teaching second graders and was furthered in earning her
Master’s and Doctorate degrees. After serving as a university professor for seven years (at our very own UW-Green
Bay!), God showed Dr. Kathy that He had something more planned for her.
Come and join us for a day of discovery, insight, and sheer joy as Dr. Kathy shares how
to help our children see themselves for all that they are – and for all that they will be.

Seminar Topics
G
Ot Hope? Optimistic Living During Challenging Times
One of the most important things parents do for their children is to help them meet
their basic needs of security, identity, belonging, purpose, and competence in healthy ways.
When this occurs, children will be more hopeful, fulfilled, and successful in all of life. You’ll
have fewer behavior, motivation, and academic problems. Children will be more optimistic
and focused, and they’ll even be less likely to experiment with tobacco, drugs, alcohol, and
sex outside of marriage. Understanding these five core needs will help you determine why
your children do what they do and how to help them change, if they need to (Hint: identity
controls behavior). In addition to learning how God wants to meet our needs, we’ll learn why
the order of these core needs is significant. We’ll also discover the power of their interactive
nature and some of the best answers to the corresponding life-changing questions: Who do I
trust? Who am I? Who wants me? Why am I alive? and What do I do well?
H
ow Am I Smart?? A Practical Guide to Multiple Intelligences
All children, teens, and adults have eight different intelligences (e.g., word smart,
music smart, self smart) that can be awakened, strengthened, focused, and trained.
These intelligences will be defined and explained so parent educators can determine
which ones are strengths for their students and how to use them when teaching.
Specific ideas about how students think with each intelligence and how each is
expressed will be shared (e.g., body-smart children think with movement and touch and
learn well by moving and using their hands; nature-smart children think with patterns
and would rather be outside than inside). Through Dr. Kathy’s clear instruction and
helpful examples, you’ll identify your children’s strengths and weaknesses, learn ways to
maximize learning with strategies and assignments that work for all eight smarts, and
discover how to guide your children to be smart with their smarts so distractions are
minimized or eliminated altogether. Dr. Kathy will also include how parents can use
children’s smarts to help them draw closer to God. You’ll be surprised!
