Structured /Traditional / School-at-home Approach
Home educators who follow a structured,
traditional (also known as “school-at-home”) method mimic the traditional school classroom setting at home. The parent
purchases packaged curriculum materials that include everything from student and teacher texts to assignment guides,
workbooks and tests with distinct resources for each subject area. The parent takes on a teaching role similar to that of
a classroom teacher.
