A Better
Way
of
at-Home
Educating.”
Schooling at Home.
Whether you teach one subject at home in order to augment your child's public or
private education, or school your children in all subjects; schooling at
home places additional demands on you and your family. In addition to “teaching
time”; time and study is demanded to research curricula; locate resources;
design or modify lessons;
and, for the
parents who teach all subjects in the home , time is needed to learn and abide by
state and federal homeschooling laws. Now, imagine having an
assistant to do all the time consuming, home related schooling
chores for you: research and locate education resources; design lesson plans to match your child’s learning styles;
maintain your records of learning and accomplishments; draft filing
letters and yearly reports; and, when needed schedule and administer
achievement testing. In addition, imagine also having ready access to
experienced and knowledgeable home-educating experienced teachers and
tutors to real time answer academic questions and provide guidance
on effective teaching methods. Well, imagine no more, ABW
HomeEd does all that; and, much, much more.
The Confidence to Teach.
Reluctance regarding their own academic
skills is the number one inhibitor for many parents who would like to
teach their
children at home. Fearing their own academic weaknesses or lack of
"teaching" knowledge will negatively impact the quality
of their children's education, these parents dismiss schooling at home as
a viable option. Relinquishing the desire to, “One
cannot teach, what one does not understand.”
ABW HomeEd
eliminates this fear. By partnering with the parent we
ensure academic quality and learning
success. Partnering means for the duration of your student's
education cycle the parent has assess to
a highly qualified
support team. A support team composed of schooling-at-home
experienced teachers in
English, mathematics, science and social studies.
A support
team
to coach, mentor, clarify lessons, provide
feedback on ideas, answer academic questions, and articulate effective teaching methods.
A support team which is
readily available when needed, and
fully
committed to helping you and your child achieve academic excellence.
Meaningful Comparisons.
How “good” is your child’s public, private or homeschooling education? If you are a homeschooler, any such
evaluation is made anecdotally with or without various standardized annual
tests. If your children attend public or private school, you infer
effectiveness from grades and maybe the school’s published reputation.
However, such comparisons are misleading. Why? Because haphazard
comparisons tend to be against
systems which in themselves are dysfunctional. ABW HomeEd compares students’ academic achievement against
systems known to be
highly effective. Using results from quality proven achievement
tests, in mathematics and science we compare our students results against
those received by the top two nations in the world; and, in English and
social studies we compare against the top three schools in the nation.
This means, we are constantly
bettering the quality and effectiveness of our academic services; and
thus, your schooling program.
