Special Concerns
Of homeschoolers
Religious principles & doctrines
Our Land Publications do not present specific doctrinal or religious views, but do recognize our Judeo-Christian heritage and include a strong and consistent emphasis on the traditional values vital to spiritual understanding.
Are these programs "revisionist"?
NO! History is history. It is the record of events past. Interpretation is subjective. Our Land Publications do not interpret history for the homeschool teacher or student(s).
What about "political correctness"?
Like revisionism, "political correctness" is inappropriate to a solid study of history. We study the past not to judge it, but to learn from it. Our Land Publications do not attempt to make history fit contemporary needs, but do provide a solid basis on which to understand the past and build a better future for our students and nation.
Primary Applications
In homeschooling
As the Core Curriculum
Our Land Publications are designed to provide an organized curriculum core with which textbooks and other sources may be used as supplements. A thorough Comprehensive Teacher's Manual supports each program.
As a Textbook Supplement
Where a textbook is necessary to curriculum framework, especially a religious based text, Our Land Publications provide a highly compatible supplement!
As Activity Sheets
Each issue provides at least one activity, project, or exercise that may be used to expand the lessons or as a textbook supplement.
With One or Several Students
The periodical format of Our Land Publications is perfect for any form of independent study. Every student has his/her own set of papers handed out one at a time as they are ready for them. As a rule, they work through the lessons alone with parental/teacher supervision and oversight. When responses are required and as directed by the Teacher's Manual, answers are shared and discussed openly. (See comments below.)
In Clusters or Magnet Schools
In addition to the advantages above, Our Land Publications naturally lend themselves to mixed-grade classes. Even high schoolers can be merged with 4th graders without weakening the program.
Importance of the Teacher's Manual
One of the most valuable assets of Our Land Publications in homeschooling is the Comprehensive Teacher's Manual offered for each study. This manual should be used by every teacher whether in a cluster or with a solitary student. It will walk you through the study one step and lesson at a time and give you countless additional activities, study resources, questions to ask (and their answers), and provide the vital information needed to teach this subject. (See teacher support.
At diverse or mixed grade levels
Our Land Publications provide readable, interesting and rewarding study material for higher and lower grade students as well as those at grade level. The activities, discussion topics, and other resources may be used to expand their study interests as well. (See Special Ed. or ESL.)
