enjoyed. |

Can you tell me more about how Hands-On Education works? |
Hands-On Education is a complete resource for most subjects taught in UK primary
schools. The
aim is not to provide “50
Great Ideas” or anything along those lines which can easily be found online. At
Hands-On
Education you choose the
subject and activity. The curriculum aspect is yours to pay attention to or
ignore. Each
activity is unique and has been
tested by trained teachers. |
| 2 |
What makes Hands-On Education so special? |
Hands-On Education is a unique resource as it is based on the national
curriculum for England.
As a home educator in
England Jeanie found a real lack of resources beyond endless worksheet
downloads. While not
wishing to send her children
to school she did want them to be prepared to make that jump if the time ever
came. Thanks to
years of working as a
fully qualified teacher in London her understanding of the curriculum is broad.
Wishing to share
her knowledge and
techniques with others is why Hands-On Education was created. |
| 3 |
Does a Hands-On Education paid membership mean I don’t have to look any further?
|
While Hands-On Education covers a large amount of the primary National
Curriculum for England;
there is always more to learn and amazing websites and places to explore. |
| 4 |
Who created and owns Hands-On Education? |
Hands-On Education is a family business owned by Jeanie and Jeffrey Fair under
Fair Consultancy
Group LTD. To learn more visit the about
