Homeschool supervising teachers
Homeschool supervising teachers are Iowa licensed teachers who meet regularly with homeschooling families to provide assistance and encouragement.
Their services are required under two of the five available Iowa homeschool legal options (Choice #4 or Choice #5).
However, homeschooling families can hire Iowa licensed teachers to provide many other services as well.
Iowa licensed teachers evaluate homeschool student portfolios under legal option Choice #3. They can also provide tutoring or direct instruction.
Even under Choice #1 or Choice #2, you can hire an Iowa licensed teacher to provide guidance and assistance privately.
Homeschool Iowa maintains a list of Iowa licensed teachers willing to serve homeschooling families as:
- supervising teachers,
- portfolio evaluators,
- tutors, and/or
- direct instructors.
Each teacher is autonomous and Homeschool Iowa does not regulate how each teacher provides service to homeschooling families.
