How do you choose what Christian Homeschool Curriculum to use? - By: Brian Lehr, Posted on: 2008-10-21

As a Christian homeschooling parent, how do you go about determining which method of teaching is best for your family, or what lessons you should be teaching, and at what speed? Are you still making use of the same approaches used by your local public school now that you've decided to homeschool your kids? Which is it -- "homeschooling" or "school at home"?
When many parents start homeschooling their children, they ususally start with something similar to their child's previous schooling experience, because their child is familiar with that. If this is what you want to do then that is fine. But for your children to really be equipped for life, you should really take advantage of the benefits of what homeschooling will permit you to accomplish. Basically what that means is that you, and no one else, gets to choose your objectives and goals for your Christian homeschool, and you get to set the pace in relation to your childrenâ€™s specific needs.
The biggest problem most homeschoolers face is coming up with a teaching schedule for their students. Homeschooling parents create schedules in a variety of ways: some use notebooks, others use various homeschooling software packages, and others plaster sticky notes all over the place. Some people don't like to make any plans, but some plan one day at a time, others a week, month, or even a year! Que sera, sera -- whatever will be, will be. The best part of homeschooling is the freedom it allows. You need to do what is comfortable to you, because each family, child, and teacher is different.
However, when it comes to putting together your Christian homeschooling curriculum, it becomes much easier, and less stressful, when you make a yearly plan of school objectives and goals. It is easiest to put together your homeschooling curriculum after you have set the goals you wish to accomplish for the school year.
Since no one knows your child better than you do, it is important that the goals you set be based on his/her capabilities. You can get your children more involved in the goal-making process as they get older. Asking questions about what they would like to learn, where would they like to go, what projects they would love to work on, etc. The selection process of your yearly curriculum will be more simpler with the help of this.
