Can We Really Start to Homeschool in January??
For whatever reason, perhaps the first half of the school year has not been ideal for your family. Perhaps you’ve been thinking, I wonder if it’s too late to try homeschooling. Can we really start to homeschool in January??
In a word, YES!!
No doubt concerns immediately come to mind. After all this would be a drastic change partway through the academic year.
Here are some questions you may be grappling with and here is how online curriculum can help.
How will I know what to cover? Online curriculum begins by assessing exactly what the student knows and what he/she needs to learn. Based on the initial assessment, a course is built to include the lessons and activities the individual student needs. This allows for efficient use of education time, as the student is learning exactly what he/she needs to know.
Am I really competent to teach my child? Online curriculum makes all subjects and all levels accessible to all students. The engaging multimedia presentation delivers accurate, up-to-date content. If a student needs more in-depth instruction or practice, that is available. If a student wants to excel, that is also an encouraged option. The individualized effective curriculum makes your job as parent-teacher easy.
