HomeSchool Schedule
Home schooling is quite individual. How you put together a home school schedule is dependent on the Mom who sets up the curriculum. It is important to understands what your child needs to be successful.
Tips for Setting Up a Homeschool Schedule
First of all, don’t forget that the instructional/guidance/mentoring part of the day may not be the only part that needs scheduling • if students are to have homework/independent work or projects that are not supervised, that needs to be planned for as well as how the guided parts of the day will go. Keep in mind that for unschooling, some elements will not apply as presented.
Examine current family schedule
Your current family schedule and habits, for example, during vacation when everyone’s home, will give you some initial cues. Do you all arise and breakfast at the same time or do you have more individual approach? Is lunchtime at 11:45 a.m. every day, or does it vary with when people get hungry? Have you spent the last fifteen years beginning each day by vacuuming and dusting? Do you have any family rituals that you use to begin and close your day? Any of these factors are things to consider in creating a homeschool schedule that will work well for your situation and thinking about how to work with the family community and individual needs.
