Annual Planning
|
| Creating a customized curriculum plan for your
child is the key to getting the most from your
home school...anything else is not taking
advantage of the freedom and flexibility this
superior method offers. Curriculum choices
that honor the student's interests and learning
style creates a more motivated student who
enjoys learning and is a joy to teach. |

Planning Ahead K-2, 3-5, 6-8
|
|
It's best to look ahead a few years in advance in
order to help your child develop the knowledge,
skills and habits needed for the next academic
level. Knowing what is coming up in the near
future will help you prioritize your time
now. Parents find that planning their
current school year is much easier when they have
planned ahead for the next level first.

High School Planning
|
|
Planning ahead for high school is essential in
order to make sure your student has the proper
courses and credits on his transcript to compete
for the best colleges.. Planning early also
allows you to incorporate more of your student's
interests into his coursework and helps make sure
you do more than the minimum required by your
state. The earlier you plan the more
flexibility and control you have.

Mid Year Review |
|
It's important to periodically review your
progress throughout the school year. How are
things going? Are your children on track for
meeting the goals that you set at the beginning of
the year? If not, do you know why? Is
it an ability issue or a motivation problem?
Are expectations reasonable? Do you need to
adjust your teaching method to reach a child who
is struggling?
Addressing the situation every three months or
so will give you time to make adjustments and keep
you on track with your goals.
