Homeschooling
A to Z Home's Cool - Homeschooling Web Site - The starting place for exploring homeschooling resources, created by Ann Zeise, your homeschooling guide to the web.
AskERIC - Custom-build your own curriculum! The Educational Resources Information Center (ERIC) is a vast collection of data, ideas, research, lesson plans, literature, and more. This site will be of interest to parents who want to supplement their child's education at home or learn about parenting techniques. Teachers will find classroom ideas that go above and beyond textbook-type learning as well as professional information. They can also use the renowned AskERIC service. If you're an education professional (librarian, teacher, administrator, homeschooler, and so on) you can e-mail questions to AskERIC's Net-savvy information specialists; within 48 hours, you'll have suggestions and solutions drawn from customized ERIC database searches, ERIC digests, and Internet resources. If you've always wanted to talk to the reference librarian of the Internet, you can start with these folks. If you want to browse on your own, check AskERIC's Virtual Library, which contains over 1,200 lesson plans plus InfoGuides on hot topics like school violence, gender equity, at-risk students, year-round education, and more.
Christian Homeschool Forum - If you were to decide to homeschool, how would you get started? This information desk has tips to help you take the plunge. In the FAQ, you'll also find answers to questions you might have, lists of books and magazines, links to support groups, and lots of tips. You'll find plenty of encouragement here, whether or not you homeschool, from a Christian perspective.
Homeschool World - Some kids don't "go" to school; they stay home. Every state in the U.S. and many foreign countries permit homeschooling in some form. If you're thinking of making the switch to more independent learning at home or if you already teach your kids at home, you'll find lots of ideas, news, links, and more at this site from the publishers of Practical Homeschooling.
Homeschooling Information and Resource Pages - This is a fine ecumenical resource with information about everything you want to know about homeschooling and unschooling, sponsored by Home Education magazine and its online version. You can get a free copy of the "Homeschooling Information and Resource Guide" as well as explore many carefully organized links to homeschooling resources around the Net. The site offers numerous free information files, which may be ordered for delivery by an e-mail autoresponder.
Jon's Homeschool Resource Page - Will your children fit into the "real world" if they don't go to school? Will they do as well academically in homeschool? Will they be able to get into college? Research shows that the answer to all of these questions is a loud Yes! This site also has a collection of home pages and photos from families; check out what they're doing and learning.
Kids Can Learn - Helping parents, teachers, and homeschoolers help kids become motivated students--from kindergarten to primary to secondary schools!
Teel Family Web Site - Brrrr! Snow is falling all around, and you're harnessing the dogs to the sled. Get ready for a trip to Alaska to visit the Teel family. There is no such thing as a typical homeschooling family, but you'll find out what interests the Teels on their homeschool Web page. See what curriculum they are working on this week, and explore some of their favorite links. Watch out for the polar bears, though!
