The most effective way of homeschooling is to get involved in a local Support Group; attend workshops to learn more about homeschooling; involve your children in classes, extracurricular activities, or volunteer opportunities available in your area; and explore your state by taking field trips as a family or with your support group. Here are some resources. I will add more information about other states in the future:

• Academic Classes
• Contests and Competitions
• Extracurricular Classes and Activities
• Driver's Education
• Field Trip Guide
• Homeschool Conventions / Bookfairs / Workshops
• Local Bookstores
  
• Special Education Resources & Gifted Programs
