Description
Use this service regardless of the format in which you purchased the curriculum—DVD, USB, digital or streaming. Facilitation for a course does not include the curriculum itself, which must be purchased separately.
Our facilitators are homeschoolers very familiar with our courses and instructors. They have set up a “flipped” classroom environment with multiple options for support.
How it Works
Students get access to a private discussion group on My Compass Classroom, where they will also have access to a list of assignments to complete as part of the curriculum.
Here’s the range of activities like from a student’s point of view:
- Watch the video lesson from Devotional Biology.
- Read the Devotional Biology textboook.
- Have a question? Ask in the group. (See example.)
- Participate in written discussions to reinforce each lesson. (See example.)
- Join Zooms with the facilitator about every other week. See schedule below.
- Conduct the laboratory experiments when directed. (Lab materials sold separately.)
- Use the facilitator’s video to guide you.
- Share your results with other students during the Zoom calls.
- Mark assignments from the curriculum complete. (See example.)
- Upload select assignments for comment. (See example.)
- Review comments on uploaded work. (See example.)
- Parents can see assignment completions and comments and use them for marking grades. (See example.)
Schedule
Beginning January 2024, Zoom sessions will be 10:30 AM – 11:15 AM CST on Thursdays.
Our facilitator’s schedule for the second semester is TBD, so the date and time of Zoom meetings may change in January.
