What's in the manual?

The primary purpose of this manual is to help a new home educator figure out what curriculum resources and other ideas to include in their homeschool programme, so they can write their exemption application based on this. It's secondary purpose is to provide any home educator with a great resource full of ideas that they can use to revise their programme from time to time.

In the world of homeschooling, there is a billion gazillion (not a scientific number) of potential curriculum resources! The sheer volume of options can be extremely overwhelming. In my new manual, I outline a good range of the most popular, accessible and effective resources. I provide lots of options, with choices to suit every approach and style, while aiming to narrow the focus sufficiently to not be totally overwhelming!

Here is an outline of the contents of the manual, including articles, resource sections etc
