Home Education - by Natural Born Leaders

Active Learning Starter is an online training program for parents and carers on how to support their children’s Full Potential Holistic learning. This includes during after-school time, during out-of-school time, full-time home schooling, various forms of home education, and even worldschooling.

This program is based on 10-minute-long reading lessons with high quality photos illustrating examples of best practice, tools, and strategies. Each lesson is followed by reflective activities, discussions and hands-on tasks for you to try out and implement in your home environment right away. Although your time commitment will be no more than 10-15 minutes per lesson, your children will receive high quality learning that will keep them busy for hours or even days.

Once you enroll for the program you’ll get access to 13 weekly lessons (1 lesson per week) for the duration of 13 weeks. You can complete the program at your own pace, however we recommend that you leave plenty of time for introducing and trying new strategies with your children before moving on to the next lesson. The process of implementing new strategies should take at least one week, but you may take longer if that is more suitable for you and your family. Working with the strategies on a daily basis should not take you too much time - gathering resources, putting things in place, trying and testing new approaches, and adopting them to your children’s individual needs usually takes about a week. Once you feel confident about the strategies you implemented, you can move on to the next lesson.

Yes. The program has been designed to help parents implement tested strategies and tools with minimum time commitment and maximum results. Each lesson is only 10 minutes long, and even though there are plenty of reflective activities, discussions, and hands-on tasks, you can work on them at your own pace during your free time.

No, you don’t need to be a home schooling family to fully benefit from the program as it has been designed to support experiential learning of all children regardless of their educational pathway. All activities and strategies in this program will help you support your children's Personalised and Full-Potential Learning at home - whether you homeschool, after school, or during out-of-school time.

The program works best with early childhood and early primary children. Once you understand the principles and the approaches presented, you will be able to flexibly offer high quality learning experiences and identify most appropriate learning opportunities as your child grows. We have been using all the approaches presented in this program with our own children all the way up to their late teenage years as well as with children of all ages modifying the resources and contexts appropriately.

ACTIVE LEARNING STARTER is an online training program for parents and carers. It will help you support your children’s Full Potential Experiential Cross-Curricular Learning and Balanced Development, and offer long-lasting learning frameworks for weeks and months.

Not at all. This program will help parents and carers identify powerful learning opportunities on a daily basis and understand how everyday experiences can be easily mapped with tangible learning goals. The content is presented in a simple yet very powerful way to help parents grasp the concepts right away and implement them and test them with children from the very first lesson. You will not be teaching or tutoring your children, but rather offering them meaningful contexts, tools and opportunities for them to maximise their natural learning capacity.
