how to become a teacher

I have been technically homeschooling since January, it does not look like it. I have barely even sorted out a system or schedule. I have done nothing but worked on family connections, playing with the cats, going to parks, enjoying the spring weather, making the most of SO being home from work, and progressing with menu changes, and finding new goals for life skills programs.

I recently found a new tool to help come up with effective ideas to use sensory integration with achieving developmental goals. NeuroNet shows you how to maintain growth at home in the 20 minutes that is suggested by therapists to develop communication, coordination, and awareness. You can find their free videos on youtube under the channel neuronetlearning.

These are the farthest you can get from natural learning, and integrative activities, but they do offer some awesome strategies that you can customize to be comfortable for yourself and your kids.

The greatest part about unschooling is that you can offer tools and toys that have an intended purpose, and use it for more creative and care-free exploration. 'D' and I spent yesterday discussing how to doodle Angry Birds characters on the doodle pad. I had to follow his guidance in what scenes to create and how much detail to use. He's tough, but it made a great difference in changing roles, him teaching me something he knows a great deal about.
