"Benchmarks" are a great source to organize your goals and objectives in learning. Benchmarks refer to the content students should learn at each grade level (based upon the "experts") and are good to know when you want to individualize a student's education. Many programs will summarize similar benchmarks in the Scope and Sequence charts covering their goals and objectives in their text books, cd-roms, tutoring materials and certificate programs.
You can successfully homeschool once you adopt the right "strategies" that work for you! "Stratiegies" can include using goal charts, enforcing discipline, applying certain grading methods, following diploma tracks to pick courses, etc.
Personalized strategies help you meet your student's needs and integrate and manage changes. Carefully thought out strategies will help you to integerate new online learning opportunities, such as a community-based program. Personalize your strategies to support your teaching style and your student's learning style.
