Q: How do the new high school lesson plans fit with the High School of Your Dreams Guidebook?
A: High School of Your Dreams Guidebook remains the foundation for planning your student’s high school experience, helping you design a program tailored to your child. The new lesson plans are optional tools within that framework. They provide CHC-vetted, ready-to-use daily plans for select subjects, primarily for the college-preparatory track. Many families may find it helpful to use prepared plans for some subjects while still designing unique courses for other areas where it is important to fit their child’s interests, strengths, or goals.
Q: Which high school track(s) is High School Lesson Plan for Declaration Statesmanship appropriate for?
A: Declaration Statesmanship is a challenging course that involves reading and analyzing the original documents of America’s founding. It is most appropriate for students on the college-prep track; students on a school-to-work or community college path may wish to complete the course over 36 weeks; reduce the assignments; or fulfill their American Government requirements through some other course.
Q: How many high school credits is this course worth?
A: As laid out in CHC’s lesson plans, Declaration Statesmanship is a 0.5-credit high school course intended to be completed over the course of 18 weeks. The material is quite challenging, however, so if your teen tracks his time and can show that he spent more than 90 hours on the material, feel free to grant an additional 0.25 or 0.5 credit on his transcript. See the High School of Your Dreams Guidebook for details on tracking hours and granting credit.
