Je hebt besloten om thuisonderwijs te geven in een tijdperk met meer mogelijkheden dan ooit tevoren, zowel wat betreft het aantal groepen als de diversiteit van de groepen die toegewijd zijn aan het helpen van thuisonderwijzers. Ondersteuningsgroepen, co\u00f6peraties en verenigingen voor thuisonderwijs bestaan voornamelijk uit gelijkgestemde vrijwilligers die ervoor kiezen delen van hun leerproces te ontdekken of te versterken door contact te maken met anderen. Thuisschoolgroepen drukken een breed scala aan organisatorische voorkeuren, attitudes en praktijken uit, wat betekent dat er zeker een stam voor jou is! Regionaal Regionale verenigingen hebben doorgaans hun eigen doel, activiteitenkalender, bronnen (zoals bibliotheken) en lidmaatschapsvereisten. Sommige delen van onze staat hebben meerdere verenigingen, terwijl sommige gebieden er geen hebben. Velen zijn gericht op het rechtstreeks bedienen van homeschoolers in een bepaald gebied. Forsyth Home Educators (FHE) bedient bijvoorbeeld de thuisonderwijsgezinnen van Forsyth County. Om lokale groepen bij u in de buurt te vinden, gaat u naar de pagina NCHE-regio&#039;s om uw regionale contactpersoon te vinden of om een lijst met lokale groepen te bekijken. Leerplan Sommige groepen zijn leerplangericht en toegewijd aan het ondersteunen van bepaalde educatieve activiteiten of ideologie\u00ebn. Co-ops gericht op een klassieke opleiding of degenen die de onderwijsfilosofie van Charlotte Mason volgen, zijn twee van dergelijke leerplangroepen. Meestal zijn deze groepen lokaal gevestigd. State North Carolinians for Home Education (NCHE) is een particuliere vrijwilligersorganisatie zonder winstoogmerk die actief is op staatsniveau en homeschoolers bedient in North Carolina en daarbuiten. Dit zijn wij! We zijn hier om ondersteuning te bieden op landelijk niveau. U kunt zich bij ons aansluiten en deel uitmaken van de organisatie die een belangrijke rol heeft gespeeld bij het maken van NC tot een geweldige plek voor thuisonderwijs en dat zo te houden. De missie van NCHE is om ouders met vertrouwen en plezier thuisonderwijs te geven! We doen dit door te werken aan: de rechten van burgers van North Carolina op thuisonderwijs te beschermen, gezinnen uit te rusten met de informatie en aanmoediging die ze nodig hebben, gezinnen te verbinden met andere thuisonderwijsgezinnen en -groepen in de staat . De National Home School Legal Defence Association (HSLDA) is een belangenbehartigingsorganisatie zonder winstoogmerk die is opgericht om het grondwettelijke recht van ouders om de opvoeding van hun kinderen te sturen en de vrijheden van het gezin te beschermen, te verdedigen en te bevorderen. Door middel van jaarlijkse lidmaatschappen brengt HSLDA tienduizenden gezinnen samen in dienst, waardoor ze een sterke stem hebben waar en wanneer dat nodig is. HSLDA pleit op juridisch vlak door de aangesloten families volledig te vertegenwoordigen in elke fase van de procedure. HSLDA pleit voor op Capitol Hill door de federale wetgeving te volgen die van invloed is op thuisonderwijs en ouderlijke rechten. HSLDA werkt aan het verslaan of wijzigen van schadelijke rekeningen, maar werkt ook proactief door wetgeving in te voeren om de vrijheden van het gezin te beschermen en te behouden. NCHE-leden krijgen korting op hun HSLDA-lidmaatschap. Neem contact op met het NCHE-kantoor voor informatie over groepskortingen.
