Home Educators Top 10 Checklist

Hi, my name is Shannon and I'm anal and over organized - if I wasn't than my children would be dumber than bricks. Even if you aren't a naturally (slightly obsessive) organized person, like myself, there are ways to learn what will work for your family when embarking on a homeschooling endeavor.

Homeschooling can be fun, exciting and a wonderful bonding experience between the home educator and the student(s). I've tried many different techniques with my children, to see what would work for us. I've found that every family is different, heck, every child is different. And based on your own family dynamic and the personality of your child, you will need to make up some organizational strategies of your own. The following is my personal check list. It was originally created for the Neophyte Home Educator - one who had not yet begun to home school. But, it is also a fabulous way to start each year or quarter. Therefore, whether you're an experienced home educator looking to put a little organization (and a little less stress) into your life, or if you've never home schooled and are filled with excitement and terror at the thought of what you'll soon be undertaking, the following checklist will benefit you.
