Highschool Homeschooling

Christian Homeschooling

As seen in all Christian homeschools, parents teach the word of the Lord, to prepare their children for appropriate Christian wisdom, direction and values essential in their everyday life as well as when they reach adulthood. This aspect of teaching is not found in curriculums of the public schools. Christian homeschools are distinct for each family. Some accurately design their home to look like a “school”, complete with textbooks, desks, flag salute, and yes, recess.

Others make homeschooling a way of life, choosing not so much in utilizing workbooks, required texts and schedules. Here, both children and parents learn through life experiences; teaching, learning and studying is part of their everyday routine instead of a closely controlled classroom setting.

Teachers in the workplace: Syracuse University GEAR UP sends Syracuse teachers to intern at high-tech companies

Several Syracuse City School District teachers and classroom staff will learn how to build a computer from Seneca Data professionals at 10 a.m. on Tuesday, July 18, as they take part in a professional development program offered by Syracuse University GEAR UP, in partnership with Partners for Education & Business Inc. (PEB).

Seneca Data, located in North Syracuse, is one of seven local high-tech companies participating in the program. Each company will provide classroom teachers the opportunity to learn about the skills necessary for success in today’s technology-driven workplace. The teachers will incorporate the technology and skills observed in their workplace experience into lessons plans in their particular content areas. The lesson plans will be videotaped and distributed to school districts and other GEAR UP partnerships.
