Home education is a legal alternative to school education in Australia. Regulations differ between states and territories. Home educating families develop curriculum and learning programs to suit the educational and developmental needs of their individual children.

When you order from Always Learning Books you are purchasing from someone who has lived with home education for most of her life. The books we write and sell are based on personal lived experience. We understand our subject, having built empathy and understanding of the needs of home educating families over 30 years of volunteering and advocacy in the homeschooling and unschooling community.

Our aim is to encourage you on your home educating journey and to help you find ways to meet your family's educational needs. We wish to empower you as an educating parent and the nature of our books is to build your confidence to help you teach your children: we are not suppliers of fill-in-the-blank curriculum materials for children to complete. Our books give you information of the why and how of home education, what has and will work for you as an educating parent. Download our FREE Resource Directory. Follow us on Facebook.

Choosing Homeschool Curriculum

Finding the 'right' curriculum can be daunting, more so because we have a plethora of choices. Beverley gives a brief summary of the most popular approaches and guides you to asking the kind questions that will help you determine if it is the one for you and your family. From a DIY writing-your-own-personalised curriculum for your child to buying a 'packaged curriculum' or enrolling your child in an online school or course, the emphasis is on working out what will work for your child and suit your family's situation.

"Beverley has provided so much useful information and so many different ways of how to work best with your child and their style of learning. She has reseached and used so many, while also making the description per style easy to understand. This is a document I will continue to refer to regularly as a guide. It also provides so many helpful links." Judy Nagel

Learning in the Absence of Education

Containing over 60 articles drawn from Beverley's first decade of home educating her children, this book covers a range of issues, such as late readers, value of play, socialisation, learning maths, testing, etc. An intimate, frank and honest look at day-to-day home educating life spanning several years. The author's youngest child coined the title one day when he innocently asked, "Mum, I'm learning in the absence of education, aren't I?" meaning learning without school and the traditional methods of learning employed by schools. This book shows the transition the author family made from homeschooling to unschooling and natural learning.

"This book helped me see home schooling as a practical possibility for our family, what home schooling can look like, and prepared me for some of the challenges that lay ahead. My son snuggled up beside me, and asked me to read it aloud to him and asked if he could start being homeschooled straight away, he didn't want to wait." Marika, SA

"It is all in here: how right it feels when natural learning is working well, what happens when we have insecurities ourselves, and the results so far. Beverley has been able to reflect the different moods, the ups and downs, that make the book a valuable resource for all those interested in home education, whatever their current style." Janine Banks

Motivation

Beverley Paine takes a fresh new approach to the issue of motivation in the home learning environment, or what most of us would call, "what to do when my child doesn't want to learn anything"! In her typical self-critical and analytical way she digs deep into the subject of motivation, unearthing some practical and useful tips and ideas to help make life easier for both parent and child... Peppered with personal anecdotes and examples, Beverley's honest and authentic writing style will help you to discover a path toward developing trust in instrinsic motivation and less reliance on extrinsic motivation.

"Your guidance, understanding, support & words of wisdom changed our lives." Leslie

"The natural learning method has been wonderful for us and one that I felt would suit our son; however, until I read your book I had assumed that it would not be an acceptable method. Your book gave me the confidence to go that way. I think that our first year would have failed drastically otherwise; eternal thanks from me." Sue H, NSW

Translating Every Day Language into Educational Jargon

Learn to take your children's everyday activities and wrap them up in the jargon of school – not only to help you report your children's learning to educational authorities if you need to, but also to help build your confidence that no matter what your children are doing, it is probably covered somewhere in the school curriculum – and it's definitely learning! Beginning with an exploration of what jargon is and why it used, and the benefits of becoming confident (if not comfortable!) users of it, Beverley gives some examples of how we can use it when recording what and how our children are learning. There are also practical examples showing how to decode jargon, and a list of educational jargon with which you can have a play!

"I sat in a cafe about 9 years ago with that booklet to help myself learn the jargon and 11 years in, its almost natural speech!" Lusi Austin, That Homeschool Life

"You've kept a lot of us afloat when we were sinking. If only everyone would read your books while de-schooling their kids." Geradine, NSW

Natural Learning

One of Beverley's earlier booklets, she describes her understanding of natural learning and how you can build a home educating life on your children's natural learning abilities. Allow your children to pursue their passions and interests and build learning programs around every day life.

"After reading this booklet, I feel encouraged and liberated. It is written simply and clearly, and reinforces my conviction that play, freedom and joy are integral aspects of Home Education. Beverley re-opened my eyes to the learning which occurs during child-initiated play; she offers examples and ideas of how we as parents can facilitate and support that learning as it happens. Her section on ‘What Natural Learning is NOT' dispels some of the myths and misconceptions about this approach. Beverley writes, as always, in a non-judgemental, objective manner." Leslie L, NSW

Benefits and Disadvantages of Home Education

"I'm known for saying that the benefits of home educating your children just keep on growing. And while that's true, it isn't all love and roses, there's a fair bit of sacrifice, hard work and way too many doubt-plagued days… Let me talk you through the ups and downs and hopefully help to build your confidence as we piece together a realistic vision of what home education is and can be for your family."

The first part of this ebook is a collection of article from Beverley's archives and concludes with the notes from her Eyes Wide Open presentation at the 2020 Australian Homeschooling Summit.

Teaching Strategies for Home Educators

In homeschooling families the focus is usually on what is taught – the content. This booklet seeks to examine the how of teaching. Beginning with exploring and celebrating what kind of teacher you are, Beverley shares many of her reflections, experience, tips and suggestions to help you become a more effective home educator. Perhaps if your children are resisting your attempts to help them learn, it is time for a 'teacher-make-over': Beverley has some suggestions for that too!

Let's Play Together, Traditional Children's Games

It's through playing games children learn to share and take turns, work and play together in constructive and sociable ways. To the children, of course, it's all about having fun! This collection of traditional games, largely taken from Beverley's memory as well as those of her friends, harks back to those halcyon days of childhood where long lazy summer evenings were spent playing chasey, hide'n'seek, or all-over-red-rover...

The Homeschooling Trail

Faced with an uncertain financial future, Michele Hasting, a Christian unschooling mother of seven years experience, begins to doubt her ability to continue teaching her children at home. Her insecurities lead her to begin to question her faith and her ability to provide an adequate education for her two boys.

The Homeschooling Trail is an intimate and detailed account of how the children in one family learn at home using an eclectic mix of methods and resources, finely tuned into the passing seasons of school work, community participation, and family life. Share Michele's quest for faith in this revealing ‘warts and all, fly on the wall' account of daily homeschooling life.

Michele's insights into the developing character of her sons and their strengths and limitations allow us to see more clearly how learning unfolds in the homeschool environment. One of the most valuable aspects of Michele's account of daily homeschooling life is the constant name dropping of books and resources… In her quest to provide the best education possible for sons, Michele never tires of seeking out new and relevant advice, tips and activities from those more experienced on the path…

ISBN 1 87665131 8, 2004, e-book

$2.99

"This is, however, not another book about picture perfect homeschoolers... the author invites us to “be a fly on our wall for a realistic day-by-day glimpse of homeschooling life”, including sports, video games, chores and some angst over covering academic basics. ... Most of all, the book is about trust. Trusting children to learn. Trusting ourselves as parents and as mothers – our intuition and our personalities are important in our homeschooling adventure. And, for Hastings , the importance of trust in God." Leonie Westenberg

"What I sometimes find in the home schooling community is a false projection of perfection that makes me discouraged. I love the way Michele tells it like it is—walking me through her days and sharing with me her passion for home schooling. Her delight-centered learning approach offers me freedom to do home school in a more laid-back, child-centered way."
Paula Moldenhauer
