A social worker can provide positive support to a family that homeschools, but special steps need to be taken to ensure that their involvement yields positive results. Homeschooling is an educational method that allows for some variation in student progress and may look very different from a formal school setting. There are a few resources for social workers who want to examine best practice when working with homeschooling families. We hope to change that.
The Coalition for Responsible Home Education empowers homeschooled children by educating the public and advocating for child-centered, evidence-based policy and practices for families and professionals.
