What is the difference between a full curriculum and a supplemental?
Full Curriculum: A comprehensive set of materials designed to cover all subjects and grade levels needed for a full school year. It’s essentially a “one-stop-shop” for homeschooling parents, providing everything from instruction and assessment to lesson plans and resources.
Supplemental: Supplemental curriculum refers to extra learning materials and activities that enrich and reinforce core concepts taught in the regular curriculum. It can include digital programs, hands-on activities, and targeted practice materials, often used to personalize or differentiate learning for students. Think of it as the “fixings” on a learning “cheeseburger,” complementing the main course.
