What worked for you and what did not work? How do you make a push for independence? How do you set up school work accountability? Will you work in dual credits? AP classes (where did will your kids take these tests? Did you get your material approved for AP?), will you do dual enrollment? College classes? Online classes? Any non textbook things you plan to use?
Oh, the list seems endless!
Definately take advantage of Dual College Credits! It's the best part of homeschooling. Also, get your kid used to the expectations of their next level by doing some Career planning or planning of what they want to do beyond High School. They will change their mind, but the process will be in place for them to plan those changes realistically. http://homeschoolandwork.blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteHi Nita,
ReplyDeleteWhen you talk about Dual College Credits do you mean AP classes at the local high school? We are not allowed to do that here :O( You have to be a full-time public high school student to do that. Do you mean just enrolling in college classes? What makes that the best part of homeschooling?
Thanks for stopping by,
Moe
I looked up explanation of dual college credits. good explanation here: http://www.dualcredittexas.org/quality.php
ReplyDeleteFor a homeschooling student, I think it would mean a high school student attending a college class (in person or online) and using it for both high school credit and also earning college credit. A homeschooled high school student can study AP Chemistry (study appropriate textbook, etc) and then take the SAT Subject test just like other high school students. You can also study and take SAT like other high school students.
To register for SAT, there is homeschool info at bottom of this website

SAT subject test registration is on that website too.
Public libraries may offer practice SAT tests, or you could practice SAT at place like Sylvan learning center.
I'm sure you have something like that in your area.
