  • FINDING YOUR INFORMATION

    With home schooling become a trend in the U.S. and throughout the world, the availability of materials these days is almost endless. There are many, many place where educational materials can be bought or even procured for free! When you look around, you will find all sorts of things you can use.
    Start with teacher stores. You don’t have to have teaching certification to walk through the door. Go in, look around, and find opportunities galore! These are the places where educators go for information, you should too. Besides carrying many, many books you can teach from, they also provide motivational materials, organizational aids, and so much more.
    Your local library is a logical place to turn to as well. Many public libraries have begun to order information tailored specifically to home schoolers. These materials include lesson planning books, workbooks, assessments, and unit plans. All are available to you for free.
    The Internet is probably going to be your best resource for information both about curriculum and instruction. You will also be able to find some great home schooling support groups online.
    When using the Internet for information, please be sure to check that the website you are taking information from is accurate and up-to-date. While there is a plethora of information right there at your fingertips, there is also a lot of outdated and downright wrong information as well. When you’re teaching your child, you certainly want to teach him or her the accurate things and not the wrong things.
    There is no one "best curriculum" that is perfect for everyone.  Each resource on the market has its advocates--you can usually find someone somewhere who thinks any given item is "the best."  Asking other home schoolers why they like or dislike a given resource may help you discover whether it would work for your one-of-a-kind family.
    In addition to talking with other home schoolers, you may find it helpful to read some of the books describing home schooling materials. They are at your local bookstore and can be invaluable resources to you.
    Choosing among the many good resources available can be challenging.  To get the most value from materials, families must judge resources for themselves, and base choices on family values, needs, educational philosophies and their children's learning styles.
    While some people choose to home school so that their child doesn’t have to adhere to a schedule like in the public schools, it is still important for you to have a schedule.
