TEACH (Thorough Education Achieved
in a Caring Home) Forums have been held
annually since 1996 in various parts of
New Zealand, by Craig & Barbara Smith of
the Home Education Foundation. They are
designed to be gatherings of equals to
discuss, share and explore any topic the
home educators attending wish to raise.
The Forums are open to any home educators,
but are specifically intended for those
carrying some responsibility within the
local support group, such as
co-ordinator, leaders, newsletter editors
and other volunteers. It is also for
those wanting to start up a support
group or are involved in helping others
in their home education endeavours.
