THEMATIC UNIT STUDY

This type is known as thematic learning,
teaching across the curriculum, or integrated
study. Basic school subjects are studied in light of
a particular topic, theme, or historical period
instead of isolated subjects. Most often, a
separate phonics and math program is needed
(though some companies include them as
supplements or offer choices).

Pros:
All ages learn together;
Inexpensive
teaches to childs area of interest;
Cons:
Can have gaps in skills so needs balance
can be overwhelming to new homeschoolers,
lesson plans are more flexible and require you to
provide the structure
may lack resource materials on the field
lacks test taking skills in content areas;

PROGRAMMED
This type is often based on a self-paced,
sequential workbook. It requires no preparation
and usually little direct teaching by the parent.

Pros:
Very easy to use,
little preparation,
independent learner based, self-paced,
especially great for content areas;
Cons:
Not appropriate for younger grades,
not suitable for auditory learners :boring to some,
not designed to be interactive,
skill building might be lacking

TECHNOLOGICAL LEARNING
This includes internet and software based
programs. The internet provides multi-sensory,

Software provides the same in a more controlled
environment (minus the interaction).

Pros:
Can be more interactive and engaging;
provides structured learning so child can learn
more independently
opportunity to learn from a different teacher or
teachers on line
Cons:
on-line can be pricey
can be frustrating if not technologically savvy or if
student has poor typing or reading skills
has set deadlines so less scheduling flexibility
software has preprogrammed responses and if
child does not answer with exact response, may
cause frustration

WRITTEN CURRICULUM
Appears in state and locally produced documents
such as state standards, district curriculum
guides, course of study or syllabi handed down to
schools for implementation.

socializing forces that "educate" all of us
throughout our lives.
This type of curricula can now be expanded to
include the powerful effects of social media
(YouTube; Facebook; Twitter; Pinterest, etc) and
how it actively helps create new perspectives

ASSESSED CURRICULUM
Refers to a tested or evaluated curriculum.
Series of evaluation are being done by teachers
to determine the extent of teaching or if the
students are progressing.
Ex. Pencil-and paper test, state test, district tests
