Abstract

The followng are proposed af pillars of homeschooling effectiveness. The individual or small-group nature of learning, the long-term personal parent-child relationship and family dynamics on which learning is staged, and homeschool decision-making autonomy rooted in the principle of subsidiarity. Each pillar will be discussed, first by defining it; second, by using online accounts of homeschooling practices that exemplify the pillar; and, third, by citing general psychological literature pertinent to the pillar. The report ends with a discussion of implications to currucular and pedagogical differentiation, measurement of learning in aid of learning, and learner-driven learning.
