Unit Studies: Unit studies
teach subjects around one theme, integrating learning. More preparation is
required by the parent, but most subjects are taught together and can be taught
to children at different grade levels at the same time. If pre-package
curriculums are used, then children will be exposed to the same scope and
sequence, but in a different order than what peers in school are doing.
Unschooling: Unschooling
is child-directed learning. Children explore their environment and learn
what interests them. Parents help nuture the child's interests by helping
the child access community resources and get information from a variety of
sources. Unschooling can involve using traditional learning and unit
studies when the children is self-motivated to learn using those methods. Check
