PURPOSE: The intention of this program is to help moms create their successful homeschool household through biblical personal mentoring. One unique aspect about this program is that moms not only have the opportunity to address all of the basic homeschooling questions and issues they have, but they can ALSO discuss and learn how to balance all of those new concerns with the daily demands of running their home.
AUDIENCE: By connecting potential, new, AND veteran homeschoolers with each other in either a group or one-on-one setting, opportunities for every mom to learn as well as grow in their practical knowledge, spiritual maturity, and relationships with each other abound. The text is written from an evangelical Christian perspective but any homeschooler can benefit from this program. Mentors and mentees alike use the same manual. Instead of a separate tool, there are many callout boxes peppered throughout that provide extra direction and support for the mentors.
STRUCTURE: Structured into three main parts, this 556-page manual is a workbook/textbook tool set in a three-ring binder that also allows flexibility for moms to use it as central repository for related information they collect along the way that pertain to the various topics. Part I (chapters 1-4); addresses all of the "Homeschooling Fundamentals". Part II (chapters 5-9) helps moms learn how to "Integrate Life" with their home school. Part III (chapter 10) is an optional unit for those interested in participating in or running a homeschool support group. There are also hundreds of references and resource recommendations as well as 30 reproducible forms provided throughout the manual.
SUPPORT: Those who also purchase the program (see options below) will realize full benefit from their self-study efforts as the material is written directly to moms with help and guidance along the way. Moms also receive a FREE, six-month TBH Premier Program membership when you provide your proof of purchase to orders@thebalancedhomeschooler.com.
