Read on to discover how project-based homeschooling can engage your child and make your homeschooling journey unique.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What is Project-Based Homeschooling?<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Project-based homeschooling\u2019s origins were inspired by <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.reggiochildren.it\/en\/reggio-emilia-approach\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Reggio Emilia, whose approach toward learning<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> asserted that children are the most important protagonists and<\/span><b> leaders of their own learning.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Reggio Emilia\u2019s philosophy toward learning and how children learn acts as the foundation for project-based homeschooling. Children take complete ownership of their learning, with the guidance of their parents as mentors. Rather than using a set or defined curriculum, project-based homeschooling is entirely directed by the child. The hallmark of this approach is that the child learns through the process of <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.edutopia.org\/project-based-learning-guide-description\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">answering a question or solving a problem<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> that the child comes up with themselves.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Benefits of Project-Based Homeschooling<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When you decide to start project-based homeschooling, you may face a lot of uncertainty \u2014 and questions \u2014 from friends and family. Your child will decide what they learn? What if they don\u2019t want to learn math? How can they teach themselves things they don\u2019t yet know? How will your child learn what they need to succeed? Many adults are used to thinking in terms of the structure of traditional schools, but the truth is that project-based homeschooling removes the constraints of curriculum and standardized learning. <\/span><b>With newfound freedom to pursue the things that fascinate them, your child will thrive and succeed with project-based homeschooling<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Project-based learning has many benefits for children, like\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Finding the real-world connection to what they are learning<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Keeping them motivated because they are guiding their learning<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Being able to learn and do what they\u2019re interested in, instead of \u201cwaiting for 4th grade\u201d or \u201cwaiting until that comes up in the curriculum\u201d<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Learning how to develop research skills from a young age<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Never thinking \u201cWhy do I have to learn this?\u201d<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In fact, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.edutopia.org\/article\/new-research-makes-powerful-case-pbl\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Edutopia<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> recently commented on research into project-based homeschooling and discovered that <\/span><b>\u201cproject-based learning significantly outperformed traditional curricula, raising academic performance across grade levels, socioeconomic subgroups, and reading abilities.\u201d&nbsp;<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.miacademy.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/shutterstock_1932285068-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"A student researching in a library for their project based homeschooling curriculum\" class=\"wp-image-2772\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.miacademy.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/shutterstock_1932285068-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.miacademy.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/shutterstock_1932285068-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.miacademy.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/shutterstock_1932285068-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.miacademy.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/shutterstock_1932285068-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/blog.miacademy.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/shutterstock_1932285068-scaled.jpg 1800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How To Do It<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The first step, and perhaps the most difficult for some parents, will be to resist the temptation to step in or give answers. In project-based homeschooling, the parent\u2019s role is that of mentor, not teacher. You are now the \u201cguide on the side\u201d rather than the \u201csage on the stage.\u201d Let your kid take charge! You are there to support them by taking them to the library or other places of research, making sure they have a wide variety of supplies and tools and encouraging them without giving them all of the answers.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With your child taking the lead, they will come up with a question or a problem. Often referred to as a \u201cdriving question,\u201d this idea should be open-ended. <\/span><b>Many driving questions also include the pronouns \u201cI\u201d or \u201cwe\u201d to make them directly relevant to the child\u2019s life.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Once a driving question has been selected, you can determine what resources your child will need to solve their problem. The beauty of project-based homeschooling is that to answer their question or solve their problem, students will need to find a wide range of information from a wide variety of disciplines! The interdisciplinary nature of project-based homeschooling is engrossing, and the child\u2019s final project should incorporate multiple elements.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Perhaps your child wants to know \u201cHow can I make a profit from a zip-line adventure park?\u201d To answer this driving question, your child will <\/span><b>need to ask many other questions and investigate many topics, learning valuable knowledge along the way. <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">They might need to investigate in these areas:<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.miacademy.co\/math\/\">Math Curriculum<\/a><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How fast does a person go on a zip-line?&nbsp;<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How long should a zip-line be?<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How much will I charge people per ride?<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How many people can I accommodate in one day?<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How much land do I need in order to create enough space for my zip-lines?<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.miacademy.co\/homeschool-curriculum\/science\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Science Curriculum<\/span><\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What materials are needed to create a zip-line?<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How can I determine whether or not materials are strong enough?<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What role does gravity play in a zip-line?<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.miacademy.co\/homeschool-curriculum\/language-arts\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Language Arts Curriculum<\/span><\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How can I persuade customers to come to the park?<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What kind of wording should I use in my advertisements?<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Will customers need to sign a waiver?
