Family Support

Your education specialist (ES) is the key support for homeschooling families. These highly qualified California credentialed teachers guide parents in all aspects of your child’s education. They are responsible for collaborating with you in planning, monitoring, documenting, and evaluating the progress of your student. They are your resource for the following:

• Curriculum options
• Ordering materials and managing the instructional budget
• Teaching methods
• Assessing learning styles
• Accessing school approved vendors such as small group instruction, tutors, on-line classes and community classes
• Accessing technology
• Field trips including virtual field trips
• Managing report cards and/or transcripts
• Graduation requirements and college and career advising
• Clarifying compliance issues, such as attendance, collection of work samples and STAR testing

Your ES is available to answer questions about your student’s progress and to suggest educational interventions when appropriate.
