2.
Visit the local library and check out the
resources for homeschoolers.
3.
Go to your local teacher's store. They have
great workbooks, educational toys and games, and school supplies.
4.
Locate curriculum providers and possibly
consider attending a curriculum fair.
5.
Consider joining a home-schooling co-op. It may
be easier to decide your family’s homeschooling styles first as all
homeschooling co-ops are not equal.
6.
Determine your child’s academic level; keep in
mind that he/she may be at several different levels
7.
Determine
your child’s learning style; keep in mind he/she may learn best in a
combination of approaches.
8.
Based on your child’s academic levels and
learning style, select an appropriate curriculum.
9.
If your child has NEVER attended a public school
in the state of Connecticut, there are no legal obligations. If he/she has
attended schools, you will need to complete a withdrawal form at your local board
of education.
10.
Think
about joining HSLDA, (Home School Legal Defense Association). The cost is $100 per year for your entire
family, and well worth it in protecting your (and everybody else's) right to
homeschool.
11.
Determine a realistic schedule that will best
suit your family.
12.
Relax and have fun on the educational journey,
but be sure to keep a few people to act as resources!
