The Benefits and uses of a Home School Curriculum Planner How to Maintain a Homeschool Curriculum. Once the important decision is made to homeschool your children, it is important to stay on track. One of the best ways to do this by having a homeschool curriculum set into your weekly planner. This will allow you to more easily track where your time is being spent. A set curriculum will allow you and your child to better plan your days. It does not need to be as strict as a normal school day and can be adjusted to different activities that you may have planned. A curriculum will also help you to make sure that you are spending time on all of the different subjects and not focusing too much on one topic.
