Tapestry of Homeschool Survey - By Homeschoolers, For Homeschoolers - online through August

Learning is for Everyone developed the Tapestry of Homeschool survey in cooperation with over one hundred homeschoolers from across eight states. Since it was released in April, nearly 900 people have completed the survey, from all across the country, and a frome a few far flung global points.


The survey will remain available through August at http://learningisforev.HomeschoolTapestry.sgizmo.com


LIFE believes that getting a better picture of who homeschoolers are can help improve support and networking with the homeschool community itself, as well as better protect homeschoolers' collective rights to teach their own children.


Results of this survey will be publicly available, but no personal information will be collected, nor will any information be sold or used for commercial purposes by Learning is for Everyone, Inc.

There are 80 questions on the Tapestry of Homeschool survey, although many are optional fill-ins designed to give homeschoolers an opportunity to fully express themselves. The survey will take about 15 minutes to complete.


Hard (paper) copies of the survey are available on request for distribution at a local level by local and state homeschool groups. You may return the surveys to Learning is for Everyone for inclusion in final results, or use them to get a better understanding of homeschooling in your area.
