Why Do You Need a Good Foundation to Homeschool?

The simple answer is a good foundation makes you more confident in homeschooling when your child aren’t following the homeschool plan. I’ve met several former teachers who homeschool now and they have a slightly greater level of peace and organization. That was me in 2005. I only had two years in a Christian school, but I had a bachelor’s and master’s degree in education. Homeschooling wasn’t perfect. It never is no matter how much you know, but I never struggled with what to try next when my kids couldn’t follow the plan. I had a lot of strategies and tips for teaching that I would use. Eventually, I found my stride in a fairly short amount of time.

I want to pass on the exact things I knew to help give me the confidence I needed to teach my kids. I recently started to compile videos and handouts from years past and condense all my training into a series of videos. Check out my YouTube channel (Raquel Werk) and see what the first lessons are. I plan to put out one per week, so check back every week for more teacher training.
