Our Focus:
Educating, and encouraging the Homeschooling parent is a major focus for our group. It is our goal to meet the needs of our students for socialization without neglecting to offer support for the parent who is responsible for the daily teaching.
This is because we recognize that Homeschooling is a wonderful opportunity but it requires a lot of commitment on the part of a family. Our Homeschool Support group is focused on providing an atmosphere in which mentoring can naturally take place. We also target specific areas for continuing education for parents such as; types of curriculum, learning styles information, how to teach specific subjects, Educational methods, testing etc. This is important for those who are just begining their Homeschool and for those who have been learning at home with their families for a long time.
It has been shown that this type of fellowship and continuing education has a very beneficial effect for the entire family. It reduces Homeschool "burn out" therefore increasing a Homeschool's longevity. It naturally reduces the stress level of the Homeschooling parent because they have a network of support within which they can have their questions answered. In addition, the parent is modeling a lifestyle of learning for their children.
The modern Home educator is blessed to have many resources from which to draw and many choices of educational materials, but the best resource we have is still one another!
