Q: EHE - Starting as a new home educating parent/carer: Three options for a subject timetable
- The home schooled child would be encouraged to participate in independent reading, and visits to things like museums and exhibitions. Structure is kept to informality.
- Another option for Elective Home Education is to instigate a teacher-led education right from the start, so instead of a child learning about subjects which match his or her own interests, parents draw up a timetable and/or follow a curriculum, since some children prefer a structured day, especially when they have become used to that within the school environment.
- Appoint a CRB checked Tutor or join an EHE consortium led by CRB checked tutors.
