Before starting anything, of course, we first set the strategy, designing a design that we will live with regarding the goals we want to achieve. In homeschooling activities, we also have to prepare a strategy and design a homeschool design. Usually, most people apply two types of designs before they go through homeschooling, structural, and natural.
Structural
Structural homeschooling design is a design that is commonly used and practiced since the beginning of the plan of students and parents to undergo homeschooling. This means that homeschooling participants must prepare all forms of design from the beginning of the process, then they just go through with the design.Natural
Meanwhile, natural designs include students, teachers, and parents undergo the homeschooling process while undergoing the educational process. In this natural design, we can also bring a structured design, which we have formed from the very beginning of the process.
Tips for compiling a homeschooling design.
Here are some tips that are often used by many people in designing a homeschool-based educational design.
Having a passion and earnest.
Enthusiasm is indispensable in everything including homeschooling, it can motivate anyone to do anything. and also need a real taste. This means that when we have chosen to undergo and decide on a plan and design, we can't be half halfway. But you have to really focus on that, that's what is called earnest. In the context of homeschooling, when we have chosen one of the two designs, then we have to really live and apply it.
Generate discussion.
Discussion is very necessary for choosing a homeschool design, even in various aspects of life. Here, the discussion is needed to give birth to something that will be undertaken in the future. With the discussion, of course, the decision chosen has been approved by both parties. In the context of homeschooling and choosing a homeschool design, The discussion is carried out by parents, teachers, and also involves children.
Simple design.
We don't need to make a design that is extraordinary, luxurious, and seems grandiose. The design that is made should be as simple as possible and can be done until the final homeschooling process. Archiving designs. After everything has been agreed upon, and the design has been chosen. We have to save or archive it. So it is not easy for us to just forget about it. We recommend that you put the file in a place that is easily accessible, remembered by all parties, especially family.
Periodic review
The design will not be perfect right away, we will know the advantages and disadvantages of the design we choose. So we have to do periodic reviews within a certain period of time. So that we can see the shortcomings and the advantages. Next, we can keep and remove whatever is good and lacking in the design.
This last paragraph is crucial. I think when we start out we need some sort of design to know where to start from, but this most certainly evolves over time and indeed as they age. I wonder how many homeschoolers can say that the design they started with is anything like they ended up doing. Perhaps this would be a good topic. 😁
