As seen on NBC's 'Sheila Mac Show' KCAA
As a former teacher and parent of her 6 now grown children, 3 of which were adopted Sheila shares her journey through learning how to meet the diverse learning styles and needs of her children.

In this episode Sheila shares about learning styles and homeschool, public school charter school and private school options including co-operative and new hybrid programs.

Now let's explore the different types of homeschooling or home tutoring to support your child's learning at a public or private school and the styles available:

The Socratic Method: This is a teaching method that focuses on asking questions to stimulate critical thinking and encourage students to think for themselves. This method is based on the idea that students learn best by answering questions rather than being told information. The Socratic method is a great way to help children learn how to think critically and become independent learners.

Charlotte Mason: This method is based on the teachings of Charlotte Mason, a 19th-century British educator. The Charlotte Mason method focuses on educating the whole child, with an emphasis on nature study, living books, and narration. This method is great for children who enjoy literature, nature, and hands-on learning.

Religious: Many families choose to homeschool for religious reasons, and there are various religious homeschooling programs available, such as Catholic or Christian homeschooling programs. These programs typically use a structured curriculum that incorporates religious teachings and values into the educational material.

Montessori Style: This method is based on the teachings of Maria Montessori, an Italian educator who believed in teaching children based on their natural curiosity and desire to learn. This method emphasizes hands-on learning and self-directed activities. Montessori-style homeschooling is great for children who are self-motivated and enjoy exploring and learning independently.

Waldorf Style: This method is based on the teachings of Rudolf Steiner, an Austrian philosopher and educator. The Waldorf method emphasizes art, music, and movement as part of the educational experience. This method is great for children who are creative and enjoy learning through art and music.

Each of these homeschooling styles has its own unique benefits and can be tailored to suit your family's needs. Homeschooling can be a great option for families who want to have more control over their children's education and want to provide a more personalized learning experience.
