What is a Pod?
Get set for home ed success! Join a “pod” for our dynamic four-week course designed to get parents going, and connected with others who are at a similar stage. Our Pods aim to bring new home educators together in a nurturing environment, where lasting relationships can be built to help you thrive as a home educator. This interactive course will provide you with a comprehensive overview of home education, covering the following:
Week 1: Foundations of Home Education
Start your journey with introductions and icebreakers, setting the stage for meaningful connections. We will be exploring “Big Picture” concepts, motivations and the importance of intentionality in your approach.
Week 2: Understanding Legalities
Gain an understanding of the legalities of home educating in the UK. Learn about the role of local authorities and best practices for reporting and record-keeping, ensuring you feel confident and supported.
Week 3: Embracing Flexibility
Explore diverse pedagogical approaches. Clarify common misconceptions, including options for exams, all while building connections with fellow participants.
Week 4: Educational Toolkit
We will share practical tips and suggestions to help you get started, and help you connect with others in your local community. We will share helpful contacts and resources to enhance your home educating experience.
