How to develop an advanced and detailed curriculum?
Q. I am currently brainstorming ideas for independent schools that would cater to children (K-12) that may be a little complicated to develop. I would like ideas on how to develop and advanced study curriculum that is above the college prep level, but that can be catered towards students who may begin below their current grade level. In other words, a gradual curriculum that can be individualized. I would appreciate any help, sources that you may have, as this is a project for my college class that I hope to obtain adequate, factual information about.

A. Good luck to you on your endeavor. I dont have sources for you. the problem I think you'll find is that for the most part teachers do not believe in preset curriculum. If you do have a prepared curriculum, your time and energy is devoted to training the tutor on how to deliver effectively and differentiate it based on students needs. This is what we teachers do daily. i think your endeavor would be best served by investing in teachers who know their stuff. Example 1: I get a group of seventh graders in math class: I open the curriculum and start from the beginning. I'm just following a recipe that may not be in the best interest of those learners. Example 2: I get a group of seventh graders in math class (this is my actual experience)… [cont.]

What is the best homeschool math curriculum that my child can do online?
Q. My children are currently in public school, but I am considering home schooling. I was wondering if anyone knew of a great math curriculum that can be done online. They are in 3rd and 4th grade. Right now, I would like for them to be able to strengthen what they are currently learning and be able to move on to new things. Thanks!

A. Aleks.com. This is an online program that virtually tracks with your child, so it continually challenges them (but not too much) and doesn't make them slog through hours of things they have already mastered. I don't know the specifics on price, but it's pretty reasonable. I believe you can sign up for a free 2-4 weeks to give it a try before you decide to purchase it. Hope that helps!
