This seminar rejuvenated my ‘why’…
assessment is meant to grow my relationship with my child – and his
relationship with God and His creation!

Tools for Transcripts is offered by
Classical Tools 4 Change, LLC
an online conference company launched by
John & Rachael Moriarty.
Rachael, who teaches and trains our team of teachers, is passionate about helping homeschool parents flourish in their relationship with their students during their high school years. Her commitment for authentic, holistic, and helpful assessment grew out of her own experience as a homeschooling mother in the Classical Conversations program – especially as she navigated the Challenge years alongside her students.
She is a mother to six children, one whom has graduated from her homeschool and went on to college, and one more due to graduate spring 2024. She wants to share the transformational ideas and practical tools she discovered to help assess her own students along the way.
This interactive webinar is delivered via Zoom over a 3 day period. Each instructor has been hand selected from among parents, who are themselves Master Teachers, and have successfully homeschooled their own students from elementary through high school while deepening their own understanding of classical education over the years.
