Joyce Herzog - BIO & WORKSHOPS
Speaker: Joyce Herzogwww.joyceherzog.com Joyce has a passion for educating the next generation. Graduating with straight-A’s, Joyce quickly realized she was unprepared for the world at large. In the ensuing years, the inadequacies of the system were compounded by the waving standards, violence, insufficient discipline, and eroding
values of our society. She realized this same system that failed her, now is failing our next generations. To combat this onslaught, she authored several books and helps for parents and teachers. She has a Master's Degree and 25 years experience teaching the learning disabled as well as a Ph.D. in Humane Letters. Joyce has pioneered programs and taught special education and learning disabilities curriculums in several states. She has been speaking and writing for home educators for over two decades as well as working directly with many families on an individual basis.
