Create a Great Transcript Using Levels in 7Sisters Curriculum
You’ve probably noticed that there is a LOT of difference in homeschool high schoolers. They have different:
Interests
Abilities
Goals
Teens have different goals:
Teens who are headed to competitive colleges or state universities, need competitive transcripts.
Those who are headed to community colleges or smaller, less competitive colleges need solid transcripts.
Teens who are headed into the workforce need life and career preparation more than competitive core classes.
Those who needed remedial work needed to concentrate on that.
We also know that our teens have different interests. We need to put emphasis on the areas they want to explore by increasing the levels of their interest courses. Your teens probably cannot manage Level 5 every interest area, but you can choose some. Talk to your teen!
You can tailor the homeschool transcript to meet each individual needs by teaching courses at the “level” of your teen’s needs.
7Sisters Literature Guides include instructions for enjoying our popular Literature Guides at Level 1 (Remedial), Level 2 (Average), Level 3 (College Prep), Level 4 (Advanced), Level 5 (Honors). Each guide covers only one or two literature themes so we don’t kill the book. There is also vocabulary, a little background information, comprehension and inferential questions. Use higher levels for college bound teens who are English, Communications, History, Humanities majors. Use Level 2 for a workforce-bound teen, adapt by using questions as discussion rather than writing (see each Literature Guide for more Level 2 information). Level 1 (Remedial) is for teens with learning difficulties, so do the guides together choosing which questions and vocabulary are useful to them; also use adaptive technology for listening and writing.
