As parents’ rights to educate their children at home are based upon sincerely held religious or philosophical beliefs, the written education plan should contain the philosophical approach of the home-based education program. The philosophical approach provides the foundation for the program that will influence all other aspects of the program.
A Written Education Plan contains a description of the:
Philosophical approach and reason for home-based education programs;
Education activities, instruction methods and learning resources which the parents will use in the coming school year;
Means of assessing and recording the educational progress of each student; and
Areas of study and learning outcomes for each student for the coming school year.
SHBE is the official voice of home-based educators in Saskatchewan. Their site contains information and resources to support your home-based education program.
