Online Course Bundles

Tailor Parental Involvement to Foster Your Child’s Individualized Learning

Boundary Stone is not a school and we cannot award credit in your state. Homeschooling parents are responsible for the grades they record on transcripts. Boundary Stone makes it easy for you with flexible options for determining a course grade. The quizzes and tests probably make up the bulk of the grading needed. However, you might want to include credit for the optional research project (which you would need to grade), and perhaps, some credit for the homework assignments of the study guide questions. You know your student and are best equipped to determine the correct balance for motivation, recognition, and fulfilling any requirements your state requires.

In the Orientation lesson we provide a grading spreadsheet that has some default settings that are sufficient in many situations. But it is flexible and you can easily adjust for your preferences. The daily study guide assignments combined with the online portion could be overkill for some students. Parents should monitor the first week or so and help determine what they will require and what is optional. Different students will learn best from different portions.

An independent student who is able to use the study guide suggested answers effectively to determine if they understand the reading would require very little parental oversight. The quiz and test scores would be emailed to the parent so they could be recorded and calculated with little effort. Grades can also be seen on the student's account page or downloaded at any point from the parent's account dashboard if you have us set up a separate student account.

Many parents want to be involved more. There are many options to adapt to your preferences.

• If you have us set up the optional student account, parents would then have their own access to the online course without affecting the student's course progress.
• You could also follow along reading the textbook.
• The teacher's guide includes a "big question" for each day that can make a good discussion point to determine if the student is on the right track.
• Or you could be more involved in checking the study guide questions.
• The economics textbook includes a one-page chapter summary at the end of each chapter that could also be used.
