Get Started Homeschooling: Subjects to Teach & Curriculum to Choose

Homeschooling Outside the Box

Are you ready to homeschool?

Whether you’re a newbie starting from scratch or a veteran wanting to be sure you’ve built a firm foundation, I want to encourage you on your homeschool journey. I’m not sure what led you to this decision to educate your child at home but I am pretty sure of one thing – you want to do your best. You want to give this thing your all and provide your child with the best possible learning experience.

Last time I helped you to choose your homeschool method, teaching space, and consider a routine and today we get into some deeper fun. Most homeschoolers around curriculum are like kids in a candy shop but it's important not to become overwhelmed. With so many options today, it's easy for this to happen if you are not grounded in your philosophy and focused on what subjects you want to teach.

In this episode you’ll hear:

• how to find out what you must teach
• how to decide what else you want to teach
• the difference between group work and individual work
• how to guard yourself against getting overwhelmed when buying curriculum
