Who is behind this website?
Pam von Gohren (and husband Jerry) are parents to four grown-up
children whom they began teaching themselves in 1977 after experiences
in both government and private institutions. Pam does the writing and
presenting, while Jerry provides support. Three of their children went
on to liberal arts colleges and one chose a military career.
A native of
Washington State, Pam graduated from the University of Puget Sound. As
the promotional home economist for an electric utility company, she
wrote consumer curriculum for schools and customers. After retiring to
become a mother, she organized parent education classes at the newly
established neighborhood health house for children in the Hilltop area
of Tacoma. Following a move to the Midwest, Pam became the North Central
USA regional administrator for La Leche League International, helped
start a private school and with Jerry, served on the board of directors
for the Minnesota Association of Christian Home Educators. She is a
certified trainer for Parenting for Achievement classes. At present, Pam
is a member of the Minnesota Nonpublic Education Council, a body created
by statute to advise the Commissioner of Education on private school
matters.
Besides conducting workshops and seminars, Pam has spoken at the annual
conferences of the Minnesota Association of Christian Home Educators,
North Dakota Home School Association, Minnesota Catholic Home Education
Conference, Minnesota Homeschoolers Alliance and Home-Based Educators
