Homeschool GROUP Topics
- Coaching is actually mentoring. Our coaches work as mentors to help you realize your homeschooling goals. As part of this process we will work with you to find your strengths, resources, and ideas to help your children’s education.
- We also work with you to help you develop your local homeschool group.
How does coaching work?
- When you meet with your coach (by Skype, or by email), you will tell about yourself, your family, and how you homeschool (or how your group works).
- Then you explain what you would like to work on. You might want to concentrate on an area where things aren’t going well in your individual homeschool (or are going well but you’d like it to go better).
- Or perhaps you’d like to work on forming or improving a homeschool co-op, support group, umbrella school, or group classes.
- Your coach will work with you to develop or discover resources, devise goals and plans for positive and powerful results.
