Homeschooling for Absolute Beginners by Lorilee Lippincott Pdf

You can homeschool. And it can be simpler, cheaper, and better than you ever imagined! The mere thought of homeschooling can be overwhelming. What curriculum do I choose? What if we can’t afford all the books? How do I schedule our time? Will my children become socially awkward recluses? What if I screw up my kids’ education?! Take a deep breath. You've got this! Lorilee Lippincott, a seasoned homeschooling mom, shows just how simple homeschooling can be. She and her husband taught their two kids in a one-bedroom apartment before picking up and moving the whole family to China. They’ve discovered that they don’t need rooms full of books, educational toys, and other teaching tools, nor do they need schedules packed full of extracurricular activities, field trips, and social events. Perhaps even more importantly, they don’t need to panic about making sure their kids turn out okay. It’s actually all pretty simple, she tells readers. But homeschooling well does require some planning and dedication. Here you’ll find all your questions answered in Lippincott’s straightforward, warm, and witty style. Topics covered include: How to instill curiosity and a love of learning Types of homeschooling Your socialization fears assuaged How to create simple schedules and stick to them Tips for keeping costs down Teaching kids with disabilities The benefits of play time Legal requirements How to avoid burnout And much more! Full of anecdotes, interviews with other homeschooling families, and wisdom, this is a must-have for any family new to or considering the homeschooling life.

Homeschooling for Beginners by Instafo,Anthony Baker Pdf

The Beginner’s Guide to “Homeschooling” Welcome Newbie - who wants to transition to homeschooling your child or yourself as a student... Huh, homeschooling? Not interested? It’s not surprising that people underestimate homeschooling or find it unorthodox, particularly for younger students to be away from their peers. Now before you shrug off the idea of having your child homeschooled or - if you happen to be a student yourself - of imagining ever opting out of your current school in favor of self-educating at home...hear us out. Homeschooling can prove far superior for getting an education than attending regular classes at traditional schools. How so? For starters, with all the talk about needing smaller class size for better teacher-to-student ratio, you can’t get smaller than schooling one-on-one at home. When a teacher has multiple students to teach, they are not going to hold up an entire class just because one student is unable to keep up. All that undivided one-on-one attention is accompanied by the many possible ways in which learning and the environment can be personalized in whatever shape or form that is best suited to the individual student, without being too confined to any rigid school bureaucracy. And, of course, the undeniable convenience of schooling not only from home and being closer to family, but from anywhere. Calling it “homeschooling” doesn’t even begin to do justice in conveying the freedom of schooling from any location for truly making learning omnipresent. Are you piqued yet? In fact, in the old days, homeschooling was once considered the most prestige form of education reserved for the elitists. No longer is that the case, because home education has gained traction in recent years owing to the advancement of technology and tools in making homeschooling far accessible. You can school from home without concerns of compromising the education and not being up to par with other students at regular schools. “Homeschooling for Beginners” will guide you through: - Getting the requirements to meet each state’s educational board’s standards. - The breakdown of each academic phase which every student must go through. - The different school materials needed to ensure your homeschool runs smoothly. - The approach to creating your own curriculum based on those from local schools. - The ways of measuring academic performance to other students on a national level. ...on top of everything else that beginners need to know. Having said all that, our primary focus here is not centered around the nitty-gritty day-to-day operations of homeschooling. Instead, it is on guiding you through the transitional process and providing you with the necessary resources, to make the homeschool transition easy-breezy. At the end of the day, homeschooling can be for everybody and will become a more integral part of education with remote learning on the rise. Adopt now, and give homeschooling a try to see what it has to offer. Begin the transition to start homeschooling today.

99 Jumpstarts to Research by Peggy Whitley,Susan Williams Goodwin,Catherine C. Olson Pdf

This book provides research assistance for 99 current and provocative issues students can use to write a brief argumentative paper. In 2030, it is projected that 65 percent of the population will be over 65. The U.S. Government Census Bureau reveals that over an adult's working life, college graduates typically earn close to $1 million more than high school graduates. About 43 percent of American families spend more than they earn each year. These three factoids represent a tiny fraction of the potential research subjects contained in 99 Jumpstarts to Research: Topic Guides for Finding Information on Current Issues, Second Edition, a completely revised follow-up to the original edition. Every jumpstart—each focused upon a current, timely issue—contains ideas for narrowing the topic, research keywords, suggested best books and databases, and Internet sites. This book supports both faculty and students in identifying compelling topics, effectively evaluating and selecting resources in today's information-overload world, and deriving enjoyment from the research and writing process.
