Open Path Course Outlines
and Learning Goal Lists
Homeschooling parents can use our course outlines as a starting point or as their learning goals list for what their child will learn for the year. An outline can also give them an idea of what a typical grade level curriculum product (e.g. math textbook) might likely cover. Outlines are available for all grades K through 12, for science, social studies, language arts, mathematics, health & physical education, and arts. Outlines are also available for several elective classes at the middle and high school levels. Each outline lists topics and subtopics.
Our course outlines were created based on typical US state standard recommendations.
Subject Matter Resources
Organized by subject area, these resources include proprietary curriculum not found elsewhere, as well as links to carefully curated, high-quality curriculum and resources such as video courses, online textbooks, and interactive learning sites.
We make great effort to locate freely-available curriculum and organize it onto resource pages for each subject. This is extra important for the parents who can only be with their students for a short time. This way the students can still have a list of curriculum at their fingertips when applying what they learned from the Homeschool Quickstart class.
More full-length courses are regularly added to this resource over time.
Courses for Parents
Neurodiversity-affirming courses increase understanding and respect, and help eliminate shame. "What, that's a thing?" and "Oh, that explains so many things..." are probably the two most common phrases we hear as people are working through these courses.
Later we get to hear how they redesigned their approaches (to teaching, to parenting, to their own life), resulting in greater success and happiness.
Education classes include the Homeschool Quickstart for parents and mentors, and the Designing for Mastery class to take your skills to the next level.
