HOME LEARNING RESOURCES

INTRODUCTION:

My name is Linda Porter and I am an Educational Consultant.

My background is as a teacher, with a specialism in SEND and managing challenging behaviours. I pioneered and developed the internationally renowned HET (Holistic Educational Therapy) programme . This successful programme has won numerous awards, accolades , endorsements and commendations over the years.

More information about this successful programme is available from www.HETwebsite.com (now archived) if you require any information or support on HET child focused learning approaches.

Question: Who  are  the  2 home schoolers featured on  this  website and  what  are  they learning?

Email me with  the answers  and  I  will  get  back  to  you  with a  children’s  home  Learning  activity –  let   me  know  the  age  of  the  child  you  will be  working  with.

I can    be  contacted  on  info@NotFromTheSchoolDesk.com

Tel:  07970 052047

The HET programme is comprised of 3 strands:

  • An Holistic approach to identifying and supporting the root cause of challenging behaviours
  • A peronalised., bespoke and therapeutic child focused learning programme
  • A personalised behaviour management strategy

This programme + books and resources which have been developed over 20 years to help children, young people and their families, to learn HOLISTICALLY together and in partnership with schools are now freely available for download o

So, do dogs or cats make better Home Schoolers?

Let me know what you think???

Please check back on this site regularly as I am currently updating with the many resources for all ages that I have developed and used successfully over the years.

Here is an  article  about  my work  that  was  published  in Kindred Spirit  Magazine  a few  years  ago:

STEPPING STONE 1

Consultations 

This is the basis of evaluating improvement on the programme. If we can measure something then we can improve something, so this is all about creating a positive working partnership with your child’s main educators and agreeing desirable behaviours and undesirable behaviours so you can set SMART targets

Change what needs changing!

What gets measured gets improved!

STEPPING STONE 2

This stepping stone is how to establish a reward incentives chart that really works and focuses on celebrating your child’s success.

Consistent boundaries are agreed between home and school and encourage positive choices in behaviour and life style with your child.

Motivating your child through consistent boundaries

You get the best efforts from your child, not from lighting the fire beneath them but lighting the fire within them.

Stand with your child not above them

This is about emotional management and using the Bach Flower remedies to change negative feelings into positive ones – when we feel better we make better choices and have better outcomes in our life

The Mind is  like a farmer’s field: Water the seed with negative emotions and you will have toxic growth – water those same seeds with positive emotion and blossom  to fruition to harvest abundance
