How to use the Diary"Beverley's headings help me to remember to include activities that I might not have recorded otherwise." Belinda Moore
Why Beverley Recommends Families Keep Homeschooling Records I found recording our goals, objectives, and outcomes (in other words: what we want to do, the steps involved and how we will know if we've succeeded) on paper, or simply talking about them with each other often, a vital part of planning. Without it I often felt 'lost': the recognition and celebration of successful outcomes would be smothered and hidden by the worry of never doing enough or the 'unfinished' projects. My confidence in home education grew from a haphazard recording regime. The unfinished diaries, multitude of lists, the calendars, the photo albums, the scrapbooks, the learning programs and plans - all these scraps of paper are concrete reminders of our many successes as home educating parents. On days when I feel that I haven't been a good enough mum or homeschooling parent it's my scraps of paper that remind me that I did my best. That's why I keep recording... I've found it valuable tool for keeping me on track with what I want to achieve in my life. Read more articles on Recording your homeschool learning programs:

About Home Education Home education is a legal alternative to school education
in Australia. State and territory governments are responsible
for regulating home education and have different registration
requirements, however homeschooling families are able, and
encouraged, to develop curriculum and learning programs to suit
the educational and developmental needs of their individual children. For more information visit Have a question about home education? Please join one of Beverley's online support groups:
