The Black Academy Institute is

offering a comprehensive business

course designed with home

educators in mind. The course can,

however, be used by anyone who is

looking to learn the ins and outs of

starting and establishing a family business.

Many topics will be covered in

this course starting from the bare basics

to the more complex concerns. It

is our goal to take the guesswork out of

starting a business and empower the

whole family to enjoy the process together.

By beginning with foundational

instructions, your students will have a

head start on the simplicity of imple-

implementation that will prove to be a

no-brainer for most. In this course, the

learner must be able to learn about

business strategy and also understand,

the importance of having a business

strategy, Types of levels of business

strategy, How to create and carry out a

winning business plan, 10 steps to build

a successful business strategy, Importance

of branding your business, Tips

for creating a brand, having a successful

brand and so on... To help the

learner have good knowledge and experience

in business strategy we will

break down every aspect of the course

in our reading material. Here is just a

ing a business strategy. Allows planning.

The main reason for designing a

business strategy is that it not only allows

you to define what the objective of

your organization is but also how you

can achieve it. Establishing a work

methodology is necessary to know

what expectations you will be able to

meet, for how long, and with what resources

you have. Facilitates forecasting.

Establishing a good business strategy

can help you better deal with

unforeseen events and difficulties. If

you have previously defined your action

protocols, contingency plans, and corrective

methods, it will be easier to re-

type of complications. Promotes stability.

Creating a business strategy provides

stability to any business project and also

helps increase the success rates of your

purposes. Although when thinking about

the business strategy the elements of organization,

logistics, structure, and management

are usually considered, a true

business structure requires the development

of plans and schemes for the various

areas that make up your business.

Improve understanding of your company.

to answer questions related to

the identity of your brand, such

Some studies show that Black students

are more likely to be disciplined

( harshly), and they're more

likely to be taught by a White teacher

than a Black teacher. This is even true

when they're in predominantly Black

schools. And it does not just discipline

that Black students face—it's a lack of

resources, exposure to harmful toxins,

and low expectations from educators.

Black parents have a choice: do

clear.

Homeschooling has become a

popular choice for African American

families for several reasons.

Chief among these is the need to

protect children from racism and

schools. African American children

are often forced to sit through classes

about so much more than that. They're about being

prepared for any situation, no matter what

skills should be an essential

part of your life.

everyday life as well. They can help you stay safe

and prepared for anything, whether you're

stranded in the wilderness or caught in a rainstorm.

There are many different survival skills that

you can learn, but some of the most important

ones are fire-building, shelter-building, navigation,

and first aid. These skills can help you if you're

ever lost or stranded or need to get yourself and

your family to safety in an emergency.

In a time when natural disasters are happening

more and more often, it's important to be prepared

for anything. Survival skills can give you the tools

to stay safe and make it through whatever comes

your way.

best way to learn, however, is

to practice. Get out into the

the more prepared you'll be if

you ever need to use them.

Public schools have a long history of suppressing black history.

This is done in several ways, but one of the most com-

many Black families don't feel supported

by the school system. They

don't see their history or culture represented

in the curriculum, and they

don't feel like their children are safe at

school.

THE NEED FOR MORE

REPRESENTATION OF AFRICAN-

AMERICAN HISTORY IN PUBLIC

EDUCATION

Black children must see themselves

in their history books. They should be

taught about the great contributions of

people who look like them. However,

that's different from what is happening

in public education.

Black history is often reduced to a few

token paragraphs. Or, it's presented

so that white students can understand

tory, which can lead to a misrepresentation

of important figures and events.

However, homeschooling allows parents

to supplement or replace standard

educational materials with more

accurate content.

Parents can use African American

History Month to expand on the standard

curriculum and provide a more

holistic view of black history. This can

include exposing children to primary

sources, such as speeches, poetry,

and music from the Civil Rights Movement,

and discussing how black history

has been suppressed or erased

from public memory.

who want to give their children a more

accurate history of black people. These

resources include books, websites, and

even online courses. By taking advantage

of these resources, homeschooling

parents can ensure that their children

receive a complete education

about black history.

THE IMPORTANCE AND IMPACT

OF SHARING TRUE HISTORY

WITH STUDENTS

You might be wondering why it's important

that we share true history with students,

not the remnants or altered versions

often found in public schools. And

the answer is simple: because knowledge

is power.

If students are only given a partial or

skewed view of history, they're not get-

Setting Yourself Up To

Succeed

Some days you might feel the “blahs”, go ahead and get

ahead of yourself. Always get up early. Take time to think

about what your daily goals will be. This isn’t just about instruction

in academics, but also how you will allow the children

to help YOU today, and what that looks like. After breakfast

can the four year old help you by putting the silverware

in the dishwasher? Why yes she can! This activity serves as

a great math activity because sorting and counting is involved.

Chores can be a fun learning activity that the children look

forward to. Enjoy their willingness to help and reward them

for the work that thry have done.

Just a thank-you goes a long way with children.

Take out and prepare activities that the child loves to explore

and play and experiment with. Set a few things out and let

them self govern along with you supervising them.

ways of doing this in which it is sometimes

empathy and a healthy self-concept.

Outings and travel can also be a great

opportunity to bond as a family. You'll

create lasting memories while enjoying

the outdoors!

In addition, when you're out and

about, you have the opportunity to

teach your child in a hands-on way.

They can explore, ask questions, and

learn in a fun and interesting way.

One of the great things about homeschooling

is that you can design your

curriculum to be anything you want.

And if you want to incorporate travel

and outings into your student's homeschool

experience, you can do a few

things to ensure it's effective.

First, you'll want to ensure that the

travel and outings you choose are closely related to the

topics your student studies topics trip to Boston would

make sense if they were learning about the American Revolution.

Second, you'll want to ensure that the travel and outings

are structured in a way that allows plenty of learning

opportunities. This means choosing destinations that offer

educational programs, museum tours, and other opportunities

for hands-on learning.

And finally, you'll want to ensure that you take advantage

of any downtime during travel and outings to sneak in

some informal learning opportunities. This could be anything

from reading aloud from relevant books while on the

road to discussing what your student has seen and learned

during your travels.

When you take your homeschooled student on an outdoor

trip, you can do a few things to ensure they're engaging

with their surroundings and getting the most out of the

experience.

For one, please bring a journal or notebook and encourage

them to jot down their thoughts and observations

throughout the day. You could also pack some binoculars

so they can get a closer look at birds and other animals. Or,

if you're visiting a museum or historical site, see if you can

find a scavenger hunt sheet to help them focus on specific

things.

Another idea is to play some educational games during

your travels. I Spy always a classic, or you could try something

like The Geography Game, specifically designed to

teach kids about different world cultures.

And finally, remember to take plenty of pictures! You

can use these as part of a post-trip debriefing session,

where you talk about everything you saw and learned.
