I have covered the IPI option, and CPI option 1 – HSAP. Today, I cover the other CPI option 1 choice. CPI option 1 is different from option 2 in the regards that under option 1, there is a real person that you must interact with who will supervise your homeschooling experience. Option 2 is more about testing and I’ll cover that in upcoming posts.
We know that under the HSAP
option, the school provides you with a supervising teacher. Under the
Supervising Teacher option, you provide your own teacher. There are teachers in
Iowa who you can hire to be your supervising teacher. Maybe you’re lucky and
you have a teacher’s certificate, or maybe you have a family member with a
teaching certificate? All you need for this option it seems is a teacher who
has a current folder on file with the Iowa Department of Education. A folder is
technically a teaching license. It is also recommended that you find a teacher
whose folder reflects those areas of teaching that pertain to what you are
teaching at home.
This supervising teacher will
meet with your child twice per quarter, face to face. The school cannot dictate
which subjects to teach your child. No annual testing is required. All you do
is write the name of your supervising teacher on the CPI Form A where indicated
and that’s all you have to do. You still have to show proof of up to date
immunizations with your first filing of Form A.
- This option also allows for dual enrollment with the school. Just make sure that you check that option on Form A where indicated.
- You can choose this option anytime during the school-year, but must file Form A within 14 days of pulling your child out of school.
I would also note; your
supervising teacher is your link between homeschooling the way you want to, and
running afoul with the school. It seems imperative that you find a supervising
teacher with a like-minded vision for educating your child.
