Homeschools
Have your teens been asking for a fun and practical homeschooling elective?
The Old Schoolhouse® Magazine Review
When I first thought about this course, I envisioned this being more of a father son project, but I ended up being the one who participated in these labs. They were great! I am not a “technical” person at all and that’s just the point. This course is for everyone. In fact, I think it was created with people like me in mind especially. The text is so easy to follow and learn from, that a person who feels quite out of their element in a mechanical situation can now be more at ease!
Popular Options for Homeschoolers
We have multiple options to teach the curriculum. The content is very similar in each option, just delivered in different ways.
Options Explained
Option 1: Homeschool Curriculum Kit (Traditional Print)
$69.00 to $87.00 –> Buy Now
With the Homeschool Curriculum Kit, you get a textbook, workbook, and an Instructor USB. The USB features the following: Course Syllabus Outline, Competency Profile, ASE Education (NATEF) Correlation Matrix (Correlates to the Maintenance and Light Repair Task List), PowerPoint Slides, Lab Activities, Study Questions, Chapter Tests, Exams/Final, and Answer Keys.
Option 2: Virtual Curriculum eKit
$55.00 –> Buy Now
The Virtual Homeschool Curriculum eKit includes an eTextbook/eWorkbook and then access to the same files from the Instructor USB but through a Dropbox link. The tests would still need to be administered and graded by you, similar to the print kit. The answer keys would be provided to you through the Dropbox link. Think of the virtual curriculum ekit the same as the print kit, but using an eBook instead. The eBook looks just like the print book, but viewed on a screen.
Option 3: Homeschool Kit with eBook Set
$86.00 to $104.00 –> Buy Now
The Homeschool Kit with eBook Set is a combination of Option 1 and Option 2. This is ideal for learners that like print books but also like the option to access the eBook for their tablet, iPad, phone, or computer.
