<aside> 👋 This template is designed to help you plan your lessons while home schooling.

It starts at a high level view, where you can plan what to cover in each week, in each quarter. Then you can start to plan activities to cover in the weekly schedule. Finally you'll be able to schedule those activities in the daily planner.

Whereas the Simple Home Schooling Planner keeps everything in a single table, this template uses relations to link tables together, to organise your information. This has several advantages:

• You won't have to configure Select properties to add the same set of choices to every table
• You can avoid duplicating information (see the steps with a 🚩 next to them in Simple Home Schooling Planner)
• You can add notes about Themes & Topics to their pages in each database.
• You'll also be able to see which Weekly & Daily Schedule activities have been planned / completed in the Themes & Topics database. You could use Linked Databases to create a summary of those activities and review your schedules that way.

Themes - Your lessons for each week will be orientated around this theme.

Focuses - These are areas that your student(s) struggled with recently. You can choose activities that incorporate developing this area, along with learning about a particular topic.

Topics - These are subjects that make up your curriculum.

Feel free to add a comment if you have any questions or feedback about using this template 😄
