SUMMARY:Home Schooling; Home Instruction... What’s the Difference?
DESCRIPTION:From this presentation\, you will learn the meaning of a few common terms that have become more prevalent since our children’s education has been provided thorough virtual learning platforms\, as well as the basic components of home-schooling and home instruction\, which are often confused or misunderstood by many. Participants will leave with a better understanding of the differences\, in order to improve school-family collaboration and meet the needs of our students with disabilities.  When we use the correct phrases to discuss new alternate modes of instructional delivery\, district-specific practices\, concerns and committee decisions\, we all benefit.
