The HomeschoolEdu™ Resource Hub: Equipping Your Learning Quests™

Keeping homeschool records provides a child's academic history for college or job applications, helps ensure compliance with state regulations, and allows for progress monitoring to inform future educational decisions. 

Records can also include proof of education, act as a valuable reference for future planning, and offer a sense of accomplishment for the student. 

Some states, like Florida, require an annual portfolio review to assess the student's academic progress. 

HomeschoolEdu teaches that success stems from defining your family's values and mission, not perfection, emphasizing determination and adaptability over expertise—but as beginners, we wonder if our insecurities mean we're doomed to falter, especially with an older child needing more advanced guidance.

Many homeschool families find success by creating a flexible daily or weekly routine instead of a rigid, minute-by-minute schedule. This allows for spontaneous learning and accommodates unexpected opportunities. For instance, you could schedule core subjects for the morning and use the afternoon for creative time, nature walks, and projects. 

Identifying a learning style or philosophy that resonates with your family will help you make decisions about curriculum and daily structure.

Some states require documentation to prove the homeschooling parent has a high school diploma, GED, or higher education degree.

Use this guidebook to guide your daily activities by implementing specific teaching strategies, such as breaking down lessons, discussing concepts, and incorporating various resources to create a dynamic learning environment.
