Home Education Support
Service starts with the development of a PEP-Personal Education Plan- for your student. The plan involves identifying focus areas and specific strategies to support your student through your teaching and co-op courses. You will receive on-going support focused on curriculum, instructional style and teaching environment.
Curriculum support will focus on the content of instruction and what materials may best foster your student's learning. You will receive support for differentiation and modification of curriculum as appropriate.
Instructional style will focus on HOW to teach your child. This includes pace, schedule and modality.
Teaching environment includes where your child learns best, available resources, etc.
We will be with you every step of the way as you provide your student a quality education tailored to their unique abilities and strengths.
