About

Meet Alison Dwyer, M.Ed., MNO, an educator, nonprofit manager, and homeschooling mom who has a heart for homeschooling parents who strive to meet the educational needs of their children. While homeschooling her own children, and balancing their different learning styles, and abilities, Alison faced the challenges of meaningfully engaging her two children in educational studies. 

Inspired Learning Systems is a culmination of Alison’s heart for homeschool families, coupled with her expertise from her own educational training, classroom teaching, continuing education, and homeschooling experience, where she provides supportive educational materials, video trainings, and helpful tips for working with children of all ages and stages.
