Hi, I'm Kara.
I'm the founder of EGP Media and Press, a former high school history and English teacher, and a homeschool mom raising my kids on a working farm in New Hampshire.
I started building these resources because I was tired of curriculum that mistook busywork for learning. Real engagement comes from great literature, real questions, and the kind of thinking that asks students to do something with what they read.
Every resource in the catalog is differentiated for both family-style homeschooling and classroom teaching, and most are project-based or built around higher-level Bloom's taxonomy thinking. If that sounds like the kind of learning you want for your kids or your students, you are in the right place.
