POD Learning: Small Groups in Your Home
A popular approach to learning in a pandemic has been pod groups. These are small groups of children of similar age range, meeting in someone’s home to learn together. There are many advantages to this style of homeschooling, and we want to tell you more.
This past school year Birch successfully supported pod learning. There are many ways to do it, with lots of options for resources.
In this 45 minute presentation we will tell you more about our experience with POD learning. We will give an overview of different ways you can approach it, how to choose a curriculum or learning plan, how to find others to form a group, and more.
Come hear from folks who made this work for them and learn if this could be a good option for your family.
We will offer opportunities to identify other families looking for PODS and assist with pod matching.
