Am I Doing This Right? – A Coaching Checklist for Homeschool Parents
1) What Will This Tool Do for Me?
This tool is a simple, practical way to check in on your homeschool journey—both your child’s learning and your confidence as their educator.
It will help you:
✅ Reflect on what’s working—and what’s not
✅ Monitor your child’s progress using age-appropriate benchmarks
✅ Identify areas where you or your child may need more structure, support, or encouragement
✅ Adjust your approach with confidence, using clear indicators and realistic expectations
✅ Know when and how to seek extra help from education professionals
Whether you're new to homeschooling or want to be sure your current approach is on track, this tool gives you a guided way to assess both academic growth and emotional readiness—while supporting you as a parent-teacher.

In our free homeschool coaching tool, you’ll work through three focused sections—each designed to give you insight, structure, and clear next steps.
Part 1: General Homeschool Check-In
This first section includes some questions and a simple yes/no self-assessment to help you reflect on:
Your confidence as a homeschool educator
Whether your child is engaged and progressing
How supported and organized do you feel
What routines and systems are currently in place
Part 2: Developmental & Academic Milestones by Age
This section includes checklists by age group (4–12 years old) to help you evaluate:
Academic progress (reading, writing, math)
Learning behaviours like focus and independence
Whether your child is meeting typical benchmarks for their stage
For example, questions include the following:
Can your child follow multi-step instructions?
Are they showing signs of independent learning?
Are they writing clearly or solving age-appropriate math problems?
Part 3: Social-Emotional & Life Skills
In the final section of the Homeschool Coaching Tool, there are all-ages questions to help you assess:
Emotional regulation and resilience
Communication, flexibility, and confidence
How well your child handles routines and setbacks
Results & Guidance
Each section ends with a quick reflection guide to help you celebrate what’s working, spot areas for growth, and/or decide whether you need more structure, a reset, or outside support. You’ll gain insight into whether you need to strengthen your current plan or connect with others for additional support.
