In today's global society, parents are realizing that their children must get a quality education so they are taking charge of their own child's learning needs. It does not matter whether children are attending schools or being homeschooled, they still have continued support when they are working on their studies at home. Similarly, children who are homeschooled have the same options available to them too. Parents may opt to seek tutoring services to supplement their child's homeschooled educational program.
Any parent that has the desire to work with their child at home should have good information about how to strategically help him or her and reap the benefits of using a data-driven approach to learning at home.
In 2001, the United States Congress passed the bi-partisan No Child Left Behind (NCLB) Act that promised high standards, accountability, more choices for parents, and research-based methods of instruction. Parents are realizing that they truly have control of their children's education and many options are available to them.
