Class Dismissed will focus on the topic of education, specifically, alternative ways of learning outside of the traditional classroom. There are many choices when it comes to teaching our children, and Class Dismissed will ask some big questions:
Class Dismissed will focus on the topic of education, specifically, alternative ways of learning outside of the traditional classroom. There are many choices when it comes to teaching our children, and Class Dismissed will ask some big questions:
- What does it mean to be educated in the 21st Century?
- Is it possible to get an education without attending school?
- Can learning outside of the classroom really provide a nurturing and educationally rich experience in which children can grow and blossom?
On March 8, 2013, Tina Hollenbeck launched an effort to contact every provider of curriculum, resources, and material that homeschoolers use in order to ascertain each one's position relative to the Common Core Standards (CCS) - alternately known in some contexts as the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) or the College, Career, and Civic Life Framework (C3).
To date, she has contacted or otherwise checked on nearly 2,800 entities in terms of CCS/NGSS/C3. She has heard back and/or has discovered clear website statements from more than 98% of the providers and is continuing her efforts, working to gain replies from every entity she contacts. The results of that research are located on our Common Core Project page.
Tina Hollenbeck, The Homeschool Resource Roadmap's creator, is a homeschooling mom who passionately advocates for the merits of home education. She launched the research project that birthed the Common Core Project database and later created The Homeschool Resource Roadmap to serve the homeschool community she loves. Through this initiative, she seeks to provide useful information and encouragement so that those called to raise and educate their own children will feel confident that they are equipped for the task.
In addition to educating her own children and directing The Roadmap and its affiliated resources, Tina writes for a number of homeschool- and parenting-related venues. She has also co-authored Celebrating Children's 12 Genius Qualities, was a featured speaker at the 2015Great Homeschool Conventions in Texas and Ohio, and will likely speak for other GHC events in the future.
