Do you know that homeschool planning is crucial to a good school year? Seriously, it will make or break or school year, especially when the unexpected happens!
Two Homeschool Planning Guides combined
Over my 17 years of homeschooling, I’ve never had a year run perfectly. There’s always some hiccup that comes along during the school year. It’s a surprise visit! It’s a broken pipe in the basement. Or stuck at home on quarantine!
There’s no time to plan. There’s no time to contemplate. I’m desperately trying to keep one foot in front of the other and keep the homeschool moving.
It’s years like those that make me dream of a school in a box. A one curriculum solution. Except those curricula never fit my kids. They move too fast. They move too slowly. Or they use the wrong math program. A school in a box is never a good fit.
The best solution I’ve found is to use a homeschool planning course.
A homeschool planning course holds your hand through the entire process of planning your homeschool.
And using a course keeps me from feeling like I’m starting from ground zero.
- Am I going to forget something?
- Will I forget something big that will destroy my homeschool?
- Will we struggle all year to actually sit down and homeschool?
So I was delighted to learn that both of Pam’s homeschool planning resources have been combined into one amazing course!
Plan Your Year: The Course
Plan Your Year: the Course is a full class for you to use in planning your homeschool.
In the course, Pam’s ten steps are broken into modules: .
- Vision
- Goals
- Subjects and Resources
- Annual Schedules
- Weekly and Daily Schedules
- Procedures
- The Lesson Plan List
- Organization
- Visualization and Implementation Tips
- Periodic Review and Maintenance
Each module includes:
- Video lesson
- Module Workbook
- Slides
- Worksheets
In addition you’ll find:
- Course cheat sheet
- Forums
I love the module workbook! It includes a transcript of Pam’s videos and action steps because Pam walks you through the entire process. And gives you examples of different ways of planning your homeschool!
So all you need to do is print the workbook and the needed worksheets, watch the videos, and start planning.
The Plan Your Year Guide
The Plan Your Year Guide is included in Plan Your Year: the Course!
At over 140 pages, it also covers Pam’s ten steps for planning your year and includes the worksheets needed right in the book.
The ten chapters are:
- Cast a Vision
- Craft Effective Goals
- Determining a Course of Study and Purchase Resources
- Creating Schedules
- Planning a Weeks and Days
- Lesson Planning for Homeschoolers
- Planning Your Own Study
- Organizing Your Materials
- Putting It All Together
- Planning in Action
The worksheets you need are at the end of each chapter. You’ll also find action items at the end of each chapter! The action items are awesome. They tell you exactly what steps you need to sit down and do.
Plan Your Year Helps You Plan
Plan Your Year helps you plan your homeschool.
You don’t need to worry about reading the book, glancing over the action steps, and moving on. Plan Your Year will support you and keep you on track.
And for me, the course makes it super simple. I sit down, open the module, print the materials I need, and watch the videos.
The videos are amazing!
They have quotes, comments, and thoughts. I can listen to the videos again and again, and take notes in the workbook Pam provides.
It’s like Pam is sitting in my kitchen personally walking me through the ten steps of homeschool planning!
If I have a question, the forum is right there waiting for me.
Step by step, module by module, I’ll plan out the school year and set it up to be as open-and-go as possible this summer. Because you never know what the school year will bring.
I love Plan Your Year! It walks you through how to crisis-proof your homeschool, no matter what happens.
So grab Plan Your Year today and get the 2020-2021 school year off to a good start! Be aware that the cart for the course closes on August 17, 2020.
But you can still grab the Plan Your Year book on Amazon!
