For you homeschoolers, Tina Hollenbeck has done excellent work in compiling a list of curriculum providers which are remaining independent from the Common Core State Standards. The purpose of the list is for parents’ information, not to pass any judgment upon one curriculum or another, and it is posted on the Educational Freedom Coalition website. See the list.

Those posting the list at this website are not making judgments…..but I will. I recommend avoiding curricula which aligns with the Common Core State Standards; however, I also recommend evaluating any curricula carefully since they may be deficient for some other reason(s).

Dr. Brian Ray of the National Homeschool Education Research Institute (NHERI) has been compiling research on homeschool families and students for many years. Read about his findings.

The Homeschool Legal Defense Association reports on the new figures (for 2010) researched by the National Homeschool Education Research Institute. See the press release.
