Homeschool Resources with OTHER RESPONSES
Homeschool Resources with OTHER RESPONSES
in Regards to the Common Core Standards
I was unable to place these companies – listed in one of four extra categories below – onto any of the main lists.
Instead, please note the special descriptors for each extra category here.
A few companies replied to my queries
indicating that they each need more time
to formulate an official position in
regards to the CCS/NexGen. They have
promised to get back to me when they are
able to provide information about how they
will proceed:
1.
Artios
2.
Breaking News English
3.
Geography Academy (Global Press)
4.
Green Scholars Initiative
5.
Portraits of American Girlhood (Units Unique)
A handful of companies opted not to
provide information to me, indicating
instead a desire to speak only with
individual parents about their positions
relative to the CCS/NexGen:
1.
Bramley Books
2.
Christian Schools International
3.
Knowledge Quest
4.
La Clase Divertida
5.
Live Online Math
6.
Mama's Learning Center
7.
Pandia Press
8.
Sevenstar Academy
9.
YMCA
When contactng any of these companies, I recommend asking all of the following questons in order to help you
discern the status of their products:
•
Have you already altered any materials - in whole or in part - for the purpose of aligning with the
CCS/NexGen? If so, which materials? What, specifcally have you changed?
•
Do you have future plans to alter any of your materials in order to align with the CCS/NexGen? If so,
which materials and what specifc changes are you planning to make? When will you make the changes?
•
If you haven't made any content changes, have you instead chosen to correlate to the CCS/NexGen? That
is, have you created public/advertsing documents showing where your products - as writen - happen to
match partcular aspects of the CCS/NexGen?
• Even if the materials that you actually write/create do not align, do you use any resources from other
vendors to supplement your products? If so, which products/companies? Are you aware of those
companies' positions relative to the CCS/NexGen?
* If you learn that a company supplements with resources from other vendors, you can
check this site's lists to learn whether or not those resources are independent of,
correlated to, or aligned with the CCS/NexGen.

A few companies have stated that they are
not interested in sharing their positions,
either with me or with other individual
parents:
And, finally, some companies were
contacted multiple times - at least seven
(via email and also, when possible, by
phone and/or through Facebook) over the
course of several months – and did not
respond to any query. I cannot speculate
as to why they've chosen not to reply, and I
have no discernible way of knowing their
positions on the CCS/NexGen. I welcome
any response any of these companies may
choose to provide at some point in the
future. However, I believe I've given ample
opportunity for each to respond and will
not be sending additional queries:
