Show notes

At some point, another person will express a negative opinion about your decision to homeschool your children.

Today we’ll be talking about how to deal with the naysayers!

Episode 179: Teaching Unfamiliar Subjects Feb 07, 2022

Show notes

Whether you’ve been homeschooling for years or are just getting started, we all have subjects that we, personally, don’t have strong skills in. Often this stems from our own childhood education and the struggles that we had. Now that you are your child’s primary educator, how do you teach a subject that you either don’t know or are not comfortable with? Today we’ll discuss and give you lots of ideas to tackle tough subjects!

Everyone has these subjects. (Even us as engineers)
Don’t be overwhelmed. Take a look at the subject if it’s one you’ve seen before. Maybe you remember more than you think
Learn with your kids!
Assess if you can or should teach the subject
Understand what you need to teach
Learn before teaching
Track progress
