Choosing the right Science curriculum for your home school program
The Science curriculum is one of the most vital of subjects to understand as the realm of the Sciences intertwines with all the other core subjects necessary for a well-rounded and complete general education during the K-12 years. Nevertheless, fear not as there are simple, but detailed methods in place to help you select the best programs for your children and to enable them to apply the subjects of their Science curriculum to the many aspects of adult life after their home schooling is complete.
Before beginning to map out your children’s Science curriculum and its content, a few tasks need to be accomplished to ensure you find the best home school solutions for your child.
1. Determine your child’s grade placement – If previously in a public or private school, get the lesson plans, or at least subject areas, of their Science curriculum instruction before home schooling.
2. Determine who will be conducting the home school classes – If it is one parent or both, some other family member, or even a hired teacher. Since they are an integral part of home schooling and developing the Sciences curriculum, they need to be in the following steps in determining the curriculum or any other curriculum they may be teaching. If hiring an outside the family teacher, this will ensure they know your expectations of them.
3. Find the your state’s Board of Education (BOE) content guidelines for your child’s Science curriculum or one of the many home school websites that have full curriculums for your child’s grade level – Determine the content requirements for the coming year and the next three years of public education; example: if this is grade level 3, then also get the content guidelines for years 4 through 6. This information is necessary in developing the Science curriculum in the next step.
4. Compare at least three to five Science curriculum and home schooling sources for the course content requirements in Step 3. Find the sources that either somewhat overlap, refresh, or begin the next progression of the curriculum. This can be augmented by placement testing for the learning level. Placement tests are easily found through search engines and many
Choosing the History curriculum for your child’s home schooling program
Many parents have made the decision to home school their children due to the many changes in public school systems have degraded the true history of our nation and that have allowed many important facts to be left out or even changed when it comes to the rich history of America. Choosing the right History curriculum content is critical in providing our children a balanced look at the world and in building the character as they grow in our society.
The History curriculum is a critical subject that its understanding helps our children form a value system based on what our ancestors did and believed in while shaping this country. As in other countries, History is cherished and the factual handing down of this history is what helps out children build character, moral values, decide on career paths and many other critical life decisions. Subjects in the History realm intertwine with all the other core subjects necessary for a well-rounded and complete general education during the K-12 years. Nevertheless, there are simple, but detailed methods in place to help you select the best programs for your children and to enable them to apply the subjects of their History curriculum to the many aspects of adult life after their home schooling program is complete.
Before creating a map of your child’s History curriculum and its content, completing the following tasks will help guide you through the necessary steps in ensuring that you find the best solutions for home schooling.
1. Grade placement – Go to their previous school or have sent to you any lesson plans, course outlines or synopsis of the History curriculum for your child’s last year in a public school. At the very least, ask the teacher to provide you an outline of the subjects covered and how deep they studied the subjects.
2. The home schooling teacher – Determine who the primary teacher will be as they will be central to the home schooling program and in mapping out the History curriculum. They must be one of the decision makers in determining the History content and other subjects they may teach. If the teacher is not a family member, they need to be included in the decisions and this is a good time to lay out your expectations to them. Remember, you

Access and Flexibility Set Apart Online Education
<!– @page { margin: 2cm } P { margin-bottom: 0.21cm } A:link { so-language: zxx } –>
Whether they are pursuing a bachelor’s degree, a graduate degree, or a career-specific certification, these students are typically employed full-time and often have families; some live abroad while others live too far from an educational facility to be able to attend regularly. Even for residents of major cities, a nearby facility can seem remote due to scheduling conflicts. That is why, says Andy Rosen, Chief Operating Officer of Kaplan.com, some students in Kaplan’s online Concord Law School happen to live in New York City. While New York is chock full of law schools, “not every one can commit to every Thursday at 6 p.m.,” he explains sympathetically. Seeking to change careers or add a credential in their spare time, people prefer the more flexible student life that online education allows.
It is this formula of access plus flexibility that has made distance learning the new wave in education. A 1998 International Data Corp. survey of emerging markets reported that Web-based training and education will rise to 2 million users this year and to more than 5 million users by 2002. Enter the big players in online ed., like Kaplan Educational Services (heretofore best known for its test prep services). Leveraging on its respected brand, the company has expanded its services by acquiring educational companies in diverse industries and repackaging them into a multi-tiered online curriculum with something to offer to everyone from small children to retirement age seniors. Since 1994, when Jonathan Grayer became Chief Executive Officer at the age of 29, Kaplan has made programs in Nursing, Criminal Justice, Law, Paralegal Studies, General Business, and Information Technology available for study on the Web. Two years ago, the company launched its virtual law school, Concord, which offers a four-year degree. Concord offers different degrees for law students who intend to practice the law and for those who prefer to trade on their legal expertise to secure jobs in business or government. Kaplan’s motto, “Learn to Earn,” reflects the belief that education, especially professional training, can change peoples’ lives and swell their earning power.
Kaplan’s makeover from test prep company to educator-at-large stems from a desire to provide customers with what Rosen calls “multiple learning experiences.” In its earlier incarnation, the company
