Product Testimonial
"In general, the phases allowed my more artistic daughter to integrate her creativity into a project that she really enjoyed, and forced my more analytical son to use some brain muscles that often remain dormant in a traditional textbook format. Since I haven’t used your curriculum before, I found the new Quick Start Guide very beneficial as a general overview of your approach to history study, particularly the breakdown of the 4 phases to each unit. The Teacher Guide offered lots of detailed information about the learning styles present in each student/child and how those styles are exercised in the four phase unit study. This is helpful to the homeschool teacher not only for history study, but informs all other subjects as well! If I as a homeschool mom can identify my children’s areas of strength and weakness as learners, I will be a much better educator throughout our homeschool years!! The Basic Lesson Plan guide, which gave the option of a 3-day or 5-day study week, was crucial to being able, as a new user of your curriculum, to jump in with confidence. There is always a learning curve with new curriculum, but we were able to successfully navigate the chapter the kids chose for our trial run with the Lesson Plan’s guidance. Also, the new Rubrics Set are the crowning jewel, giving the homeschool educator the tools and confidence to grade creative projects fairly and accurately! This is so important for the students too! Knowing exactly what is expected and how they can create a successful project takes the guesswork out of the process while injecting a sense of confidence and purpose. This is especially important for those students, like my son, for whom a creative project is more intimidating than a written test." ~Nelly D., homeschool mom
