Active - Reference to National Home School Association
Aside from our many advisors and associates, we are a family with three children and 17 years of home schooling experience. Home schooling has made us a close family and now that our two oldest are grown and can contribute their many talents to the endeavor, we would like to do our part to make the world a better place.
Our goal is to build an on-line community that offers many opportunities for home schooling families that were not available before. We started out as one small pebble in a pond but we hope that the ripple effects of what we have built will include bringing people together to make the home schooling community as strong as possible. Seeing this come to fruition is a dream come true for us and we look forward to the adventure ahead.
HOW DO WE HELP HOMESCHOOLERS?
Our first objective is to help families to determine if homeschooling is right for them. To make this as easy as possible, starting October 1st, the Home Learning Association (HLA) will be offering a free download of a comprehensive E-book from the Home School Institute (HSI) entitled “Terra Scholar -A Complete Handbook for Today’s Homeschooler”. This book will provide everything that a parent needs to know to make the decision to homeschool and then see it through to graduation and beyond.
Our next objective is to help parents overcome their fear of homeschooling and provide them with the knowledge and tools they need to help their children learn. This starts with a low cost instructional DVD course to help them to be truly effective homeschool teachers called the “Homeschool Teacher Course” .
Additional support in this area can be found on the HLA website where parents can find a comprehensive E-book Library, Video Library, Support Group Directory and access to the “HLA Ask an Expert” program. Members of the HLA will also receive a free monthly resource called the “Home Learning Digest Newsletter”.
The HLA’s exclusive Home Learning Social Network (HLSN) is designed as an on-line social network to allow homeschooled children to safely interact with like-minded homeschoolers of all ages who share common interests and aspirations.
If interested, each student can have his or her own profile page. On that page they will be encouraged to showcase their accomplishments, talents and interests to get the recognition they deserve. Their pages may also serve as inspiration to other homeschooled children who can benefit by having role models to look up to.
Through the HLSN, students can participate in joint projects or competitions, work together to solve problems, establish debate teams or just socialize.
The HLA is sponsoring national level talent showcases in many categories that conclude with the national finals each year at the annual Home Learning Expo. Showcase categories currently include: Dance, Singing, Instruments, Bands, Science Fair, Debate, various forms of Art, Film, various Writing and Essay entries and Multi-media Presentations on solving the world's problems.
The HLA also facilitates leadership qualities and encourages help and input from the student population. Each year a seven member HLA Student Council will be elected by the members for each state and a seven member Student Council will be elected to represent the national student body.
The HLA Membership Card entitles members to dozens of discounts at national chain stores and restaurants. More and more discounts will become available as time goes on and regular updates will be mde to the discount list, so keep checking the HLA website for updates.
Then, to make sure that parents have affordable access to anything else that they might need, the HLA is helping to establish the Home Learning Store. This online store, when launched, will grow continually to provide one-stop shopping for virtually anything homeschoolers might need at discount prices. Store specials for HLA members will include, for example, a 50% discount on the: “Homeschool Teacher Certification Course” (DVD), “Homeschool- The Game” (Board Game), All HSI Seminars and Webinars and All Q-kids Camps.
Those students with public speaking aspirations are encouraged to join the HLA Ambassador Program to make presentations about homeschooling to local groups willing to listen.
Other opportunities will include “HLA Future Business Leaders” and Terra Scholar Adventure Travel- (with it's epic trip to “Space Camp” scheduled for September 2014).
THE HELP FOR HOMESCHOOLERS NEVER ENDS
Much of American society still relies on "credentials" to stipulate as to what a person is, or is not, capable of. So the HLA will provide each student with the opportunity to obtain a diploma “accredited” by the HLA and be listed in the "HLA Graduate Registry” if that is of interest to them.
The HLA will also assist members to find homeschool friendly tech schools, colleges and universities along with scholarships that might be available from each.
The HLA, in cooperation with the “Homeschool Industries-Placement Bureau”, will endeavor to assist homeschooled individuals to find employment throughout their lives with employers who understand and appreciate the qualities of homeschooled individuals.
THE HLA WILL EVEN HELP WITH THE FINANCING
The fact is that for many families a decision to homeschool means that at least one parent will have to devote time that would otherwise be used earning money for the family. The HLA wants to help support these families by helping them start and grow home based businesses. Enterprises that they can run to compensate for lost salary and to use as educational tools.
HLA Members will have the opportunity to market products from their own businesses to the other Members via a PDF catalog that will be provided to all Members. The HLA will soon provide barter opportunities as well as co-op marketing and funding plans to support business growth.
STUDENTS CAN EVEN RAISE FUNDS FOR THE THINGS THEY WANT
It is quite common for school children to raise funds for uniforms, trips, and clubs throughout the year. Now homeschooled children will have the same opportunities and will be able to participate in fundraising campaigns all year long. The money they earn can be used for learning materials, trips like the upcoming adventure to Space Camp and anything else that they need to further their education.
