Co-op burnout? Try a hybrid class

February 15, 2012 · Print This Article

 

Practical Homeschool magazine shares an article written by homeschool mom and co-op teacher, Linda M. Burklin.

Hybrid Homeschool Classes

Linda loved teaching English Literature and Composition at her homeschool co-op, but found that managing her own seven children and co-op was exhausting. Instead of quitting teaching, she came up with the idea of a hybrid class.

She combined email instruction with occasional “seminar” for a small class of students (6 total). She shifted a lot of the teaching burden onto the homeschool parent and student.

Linda explains in detail how she organized her hybrid class here:

Take some inspiration from Linda and try a hybrid class, using email for sharing lessons and homework.

 

Just another way homeschool parents can be creative in how they educate their children!
