For many homeschooling parents, the spring semester is a time to steer the current homeschool year to completion and begin to think about what next year might look like. Whether you’re planning to begin homeschooling next year or are a veteran homeschooling parent trying to stay on top of things, here are some key considerations to guide your preparation and planning for the coming academic year.
Goals and Priorities
While it may be tempting to dive headfirst into shopping for shiny new curriculum or binge watching homeschooling moms on YouTube, it’s best to take a step back and revisit your own fundamental reasons for doing this in the first place.Why have you chosen to homeschool your children? What are your greatest aspirations for this endeavor? What lessons, values, and skills do you want to impart to your children? Consider their goals and interests and how you can integrate those into the coming year.
