Support Materials for Understanding and Implementing the CMEC Program
We offer a variety of resources, including detailed programs of study, self-paced teacher training courses and webinars, printable guides for specific books and subjects, Parents’ Review articles that shed light on our objectives and methods, and more.
A quick view of some of our resources:
Our Getting Started Guide offers step-by-step guidance for those new to homeschooling, new to the Charlotte Mason method, or just new to the CMEC.
Our General Resources cover the key components of a Charlotte Mason education: narration, notebooks, exams, timetables, logbooks, and other practical helps.
Our self-paced courses weave immersions and work assignments into focused instruction.
On our subject-specific resource pages, we collect the most helpful Parents’ Review articles, provide suggestions for implementing the subject, and feature CMEC student work.
Each year we offer a variety of Subject Guides and Book Guides to simplify implementation of our program: background information, helpful teacher hints, suggestions for "captain ideas," playlists, curated links and maps, and more.
Our resources are living, broad, and balanced, just like our curriculum. We aim to provide the kind of guidance that leads to greater understanding and confidence in parents. By offering our families an overall education in the philosophy and the methods rather than specific lesson plans for each day, we have seen them thrive—their implementation of the Mason program feels joyful and natural.
Our Form Guide provides an overview for the year, our Subject and Book Guides offer week-by-week ideas, and our Resource pages collect subject-specific articles and webinars. We pair these print resources with ongoing education in the form of live retreats, online courses, and meetings in community with other parent-teachers.
Through this combination, families are equipped with the "high thinking" that makes "plain living" possible in the day to day.
What members say about our resources...
Simply Designed "I appreciate that everything is very thoughtfully designed, even down to the details of the timetable examples. From there, there is support for whatever I am unsure about or would like more guidance about. No more overthinking and trying to figure things out on my own. No more hours of researching trying to find the information on my own." – Emily in SC | Broad and Thorough "Each of the resources have been so helpful at different moments. Some months, I am diving into the Mother's Education Coursework, other times I am making binders and reviewing the subject guides and Parents' Review articles, and at other times I am plotting out times to review old courses and retreats. There is so much information and guidance to use as needed or as I am feeling inspired to deepen my knowledge on a certain subject and how to approach it with my children." – Emily in VA | Flexible and Encouraging "The CMEC has helped me realistically plan out our year in a way that honors each of my children and the time that we have available without feeling like we are constantly behind. I love having options for each child to pick from to meet them where they are and to challenge them as necessary ... They are so encouraging and constantly giving me ideas to make managing all the things within the home a little more streamlined.– Courtney in AL |
