Education in Canada

Teaching your children at home is a big decision. Before you decide whether or not homeschooling is right for you, you need to take the following issues into consideration. After looking at these issues, you’ll know for sure whether or not you should make the leap into homeschooling.

First, think about your reasons for homeschooling. They are different for everyone but knowing your reasons can help you evaluate the decision better. There are many common reasons like the desire to give your child a religious education, the desire to cater to your child’s special needs, the desire to avoid a bad public school system or the desire to enrich their education with a unique experience.

Next, you need to realistically look at how your lives as a family will change when you start homeschooling. Normally, one parent will have to sacrifice their career and other commitments in order to home school. This can sometimes put strain on a marriage unless the family is prepared for the change. Your children will also have to get used to learning at home and listening to you in a new capacity.

Finally, you’ll also have to contend with feedback from your friends, family and other people in the community. Despite its growing popularity, homeschooling is still not accepted as a viable alternative to traditional schools. You’ll need to be firm in your commitment to homeschooling in order to overcome the negative feedback.

After you consider both sides of the issue and look at these aspects of the situation, you’ll be better prepared to make the right decision about homeschooling.

Continuing Education came into existence for adults who wished to further their education and growth as part-time students and was especially suited to students beyond the traditional age of a college student. Generally, the Continuing Education adult student already had an education and was wishing to further his or her education on a part-time basis.

Continuing Education students ordinarily enrolled in non-credit-granting schools for personal enrichment through courses offered by small community colleges. However, Continuing Education studies now largely include credit-granting colleges and universities that offer courses either in a classroom setting or through distance learning.

A number of fields have begun imposing Continuing Education requirements on licensed practitioners of particular professions. The requirements are intended to encourage professionals to maintain their training and remain current on new developments, such as Continued Medical Education. Depending on the field, Continuing Education courses are often provided by organizations that cater to specific professions, and are offered through conferences, workshops and seminars designed for particular professional Continuing Education requirements.

Continuing Education can include traditional classroom lectures and laboratories, but distance and online independent study have become very popular and effective. The use of conference group study, which can include study networks meeting online as well as seminars and workshops, can be used to facilitate learning. Continuing Education can combine any or all of the traditional, distance, online and conference type studies.
