The Homeschool Diner's Homeschooler's Guide to the Galaxy by Julie Shepherd Knapp, copyright 2006 Homeschooling isn't a new idea... not long ago, most children were educated at home by their parents. But modern-day homeschooling is definitely a "new and improved" version of a home education. Hundreds of books have been written about home-based education. There are thousands of commercial products available to make homeschooling easier and more interesting. Well-equipped public libraries and the general availability of the Internet combine to provide seemingly unlimited educational options and resources. Communities, colleges, museums, and local businesses have begun catering to the homeschool population, providing wonderful opportunities to families and groups of homeschoolers. Having a lot of options, however, doesn't help you decide what to do. It is very easy to become overwhelmed by the options and confused by the choices. But please... Don't Panic Just remember, Rome wasn't built in a day... and not many homeschoolers have everything all in order when they first start out. The Homeschooler's Guide to the Galaxy is a good place to begin your research and start finding answers to your homeschool questions. There are three sections to Homeschooler's Guide to the Galaxy: Homeschooling Basics -- for those just starting out or just curious about homeschooling The Click-O-Matic Guide to Choosing a Homeschool Approach -- a quiz to help you discover homeschool approaches and materials that might meet your needs, based on your child's preferences and personality, and your concerns as a homeschooling parent The Guide to Homeschool Approaches and Curriculum -- a summary of many of the most popular homeschool approaches and methods, with reviews of some popular curriculum choices for each. Just click on any topic below and be transported to that section: Homeschooler's Guide to the Galaxy: Homeschooling Basics The Click-O-Matic Guide The Guide to Homeschool Approaches and Curriculum |
