Homeschool Planning 101
You may not know where to start when it comes to homeschooling. To homeschool and avoid burning out, it’s a good idea to approach it as a trial and error scenario. The following variables matter a lot as you start out!
How you like teaching
How your child enjoys learning
Which educational philosophy best matches your family’s lifestyle and preferences
Which curriculum choices may best suit all of the above
In this guide, you learn how to:
Identify why you want to homeschool, and have it written out to refer back to all year long in case the going gets tough.
Understand the two main theories behind curriculum, and choose which you most agree with
Learn about homeschool philosophies, which have been helpfully grouped and condensed in a way that is still easy to understand so you can select those that resonate most with you.
Include your children in your homeschool planning - by observing and documenting the way they love to learn!
Determine your own teaching style, and think about how that will impact the curriculum you’ll want to teach

Putting in the time
The one thing I can’t help with is time. It takes time to think through what’s best for your family. It takes time to think through how you would prefer to teach. It takes time to observe what helps your children best learn.
I fully believe you can take that time, because it’s so important to starting your homeschool journey!
If this sounds like an activity you want to undertake I hope you’ll join me here and take the time to think through the above and tag me @mytexashomeschool on Instagram with your findings!
