"Independent
study" means "independent of the
classroom," not "independent of
assistance." Be available to assist and
instruct your student during the hours he
or she spends completing assignments.
Establish
a routine for daily lessons.
Provide
a quiet, well-lit workspace without distractions.
Follow a "schooling" routine that
suits the family, but gives priority to your
child's education.
Be
sure needed materials are on hand (basic supplies,
materials for
science experiments, paints and brushes, etc.)
for the lessons your student will be doing
on a given day.
Set
aside time every day to review and correct
completed assignments and to plan the next
day accordingly.
Document
all educational activities, including field
trips, other classes, and life skills, etc.
Keep
a positive attitude and be sure your routine
includes some enjoyable educational projects
and activities. Remember, too, that a little
variety will keep your student interested
and motivated.
If
you run into a problem, contact your resource
teacher immediately instead of waiting for
a scheduled visit.
