Happy 2008!
The beginning of a new year is a good time to have the whole family
sit down
together and spend some quality time discussing goals, dreams, and
the
purpose of life - and while you're at it, why not develop a
homeschool
mission statement!
As a homeschool parent, it's obvious that you already have a good
sense of
purpose and direction for your family. You probably even have a main
theme
by which your household operates, such as "we love and serve God by
keeping
His commandments and helping others." The homeschool mission
statement goes
a step further and expands upon your family's core values by
applying them
to your children's education.
If you are a new homeschooler, the reasons for homeschooling your
children
are likely to be fresh in your mind. You can solidify those reasons
by
putting your educational plan in writing, to emphasize its
importance and
reinforce commitment. This will ensure that your homeschool starts
out on a
strong foundation and continues to function well into the future.
If you have been homeschooling for a while, you may have noticed
that the
busyness of daily life seems to distract you from the things that
matter
most. Your family can get back on track by sitting down together and
compiling a homeschool mission statement to guide you from now on.
The fact that you are homeschooling indicates that you are willing
to stand
up for your principles. While you're at it, why not inscribe them on
your
doorpost! This easy-to-follow step-by-step guide explains in
practical terms
how to create, utilize, and display a homeschool mission statement.
It
includes:
. Examples
. Discussion Questions
. Worksheets
. Keyword List
. Scriptures
. Quotations
. Mottoes
. Things to Do
"How to Write a Homeschool Mission Statement...has been a useful
tool in
what seems to be a somewhat difficult task for many people to
execute. It
was a positive thing...and it was very helpful to us." ~Doreen Graham
