Becky Develle, a veteran home educator with over 15 years of experience, is the main speaker of the Bible First Family Ministries. She has earned a DTM award (Distinguished Toastmaster), the highest level of achievement from Toastmasters International for public speaking and leadership skills and is a member of the speakers bureau in Oregon as well as a member of the Homeschool Vendors and Speakers Association. She speaks with clarity and insight, practical experience and humor on the subjects of writing, speaking, teaching, spelling, and nutrition. The workshops and seminars for parents have helped transform many homeschools to follow a Biblical model of education, which has the simultaneous outcome of improving academic standards and lightening the yoke of homeschooling parents.
Although Becky has a B.A. degree in Christian Education, her real education has come from homeschooling her own children and studying what the Bible has to say on teaching methodologies. Under the encouragement of her mentors, Becky has become an Endorsed Trainer for Spell to Write and Read as well as a Certified Instructor through Excellence in Writing. She CLEP’ed her way out of college English courses and then was dismayed to find that teaching English was not as easy as using it. After trying numerous other programs for her own children, she was overjoyed to discover and successfully implement the methods of mastery teaching. Becky has been leading a support group for new homeschoolers for eight years and counseling parents for 15 years. Through Bible First Family Ministries, small workshops to full seminars are offered on Biblical methods of homeschooling, parenting, and nutrition.
