Homeschool's Daily Struggle
Imagine sitting down with your child, ready to dive into today’s lesson. You explain the concepts clearly, but moments later, they seem lost. Frustration builds as you repeat yourself, hoping this time it will stick.
Does this sound familiar?
If so, it’s okay, you’re not alone. Many parents face the same challenges, feeling overwhelmed and unsure if their efforts are helping their child learn.
That’s why DataWORKS Educational Research developed Explicit Direct Instruction (EDI) for Homeschool.
