HOME EDUCATE VI
Home Educate VI is one of the programs operating under Blyden Curriculum Consulting, LLC. This program provides academic support to parents who have a child in homeschool or parents of children enrolled in traditional schools. Here is where parents can request diagnostic assessments, sign up for online and printed academic subscription services, online classes, and tutorial services.
ALL PROGRAMS AND ACTIVITIES/ VIRTUAL
1) We consult with parents, answering their questions about the progress their child is making and offer suggestions on how the child could meet academic goals using whatever curriculum the parent chooses to use.
2) We “sell” academic curriculum packages, through a monthly subscription--printed or online.The combined online and printed subscriptions make up a complete curriculum. Parents are charged monthly. This saves the parent money on these resources. With this option, parents also receive consultation services. We do personalize some academic packages for some subjects areas.
3) We provide an online reading and math diagnostic assessment package where we administer the assessments review the results with parents, then offer suggestions for curriculum and instruction.
4) Tutorial sessions in reading and math for students who are behind grade level is also offered. This is usually done for children who are not proficient in reading and/ or math. We implement a researched-based program.
5) Another tutorial-type service involves working with parents who have children in public schools (or private) who are enrolled in virtual learning because of the pandemic.
6) And finally, there is a learning pod, co-op or pandemic pod service that we provide. A group of parents can use Home Educate VI packages to guide and set up the curriculum their neighborhood co-op or pod created. The parents will split the total cost when paying for the service.
