Intro
Tina Hollenbeck, The Homeschool Resource Roadmap's creator, is a veteran homeschooling mom (i.e., educational entrepreneur) who passionately advocates for the merits of home education. She launched the research project that birthed the Common Core Project database and later created The Homeschool Resource Roadmap to serve the homeschool community she loves. Through this initiative, she seeks to provide useful information and encouragement for those called to raise and educate their own children, so that they will feel confident that they are equipped for the task. In addition to educating her own children and curating The Roadmap and its affiliated resources, Tina has also written for a number of homeschool- and parenting-related venues. In 2015, she co-authored a booklet, Celebrating Children's 12 Genius Qualities, and in 2021, her first solo book, 8 Great Smarts for Homeschoolers, was published by Moody Press.
Top three takeaways
Use "curriculum" and other learning tools as a TOOL, never your master. There are literally thousands of curricular options from which to choose and The Roadmap can show you what's available.
The key to successful homeschooling is truly knowing how God has wired each of your children and responding appropriately.
The Homeschool Resource Roadmap includes lists of those who offer support for kids with the whole gamut of "special needs."
