Here we cover the Beginners Guide to using online curriculum and retain your initial excitement for this novel approach to learning!

3 Ways to get started with your online curriculum.

1. Always read over the scope and sequence section of your online program. This will give you information about what will be covered for the next semester/year. With this in mind you can relax and understand that one day at a time you and your student will cover what is laid out. Referring back to this section will help you understand where your student may need more time to solidify his or her learning.

2. Use your curriculum as a resource base. Logging in to find answers to questions raised by your student will give the understanding that the curriculum materials are helpful in learning. If answers are not found encourage further research to reach a conclusion. Your online curriculum then becomes an active part of the learning process leaving room for much needed creativity generated by the student. Working as detectives with the guidance of a solid knowledge base is a more innovative approach to covering curriculum content.

3. Discover the approach built into the curriculum that resonates with your student. Online curriculum is designed to cater to all learning needs, not just those of your student! In knowing this, duplicate the approach best suited to your student and present lessons that are engaging for your student. Using the curriculum as a resource in a flexible way engages your creativity as a teacher. Modeling flexibility in your thinking encourages flexible thinking in your student. Always take the learner into consideration when planning how you might share the curriculum during a learning experience.

Using the curriculum and your student as a guide you will certainly have a successful experience with teaching online curriculum in the home.
