If you have to armor up every morning for the “get your schoolwork done!” battle, then this is for you! Trust me, I have been there when my kids grumbled and fussed and dragged their feet through the school day. You are not alone! I was a homeschooled kid and always knew I wanted the same for my kids. When I became pregnant for the first time, I was already researching all the curricula I could find out there. Many, I dismissed before they ever got to my kids because they bored me! I wanted fun and beautiful and to capture excitement and interest… not just textbooks.
This is how I came across unit studies and I immediately fell in love with this style of teaching. I saw my kids allow their interest to fuel their learning even when we were working on not-so-fun subjects just by including something interesting in the day. I was able to teach with the flow of their curiosity rather than having to squelch it to do the “important” subjects. It sounds counterintuitive, but by investing in the time for the unit study, we actually finish schoolwork faster because they flow rather than trudge through it.
“No interest intervention is one size fits all. Considering students’ pre-existing interest and level of competence for a given topic is imperative. Indeed, some interest triggers merely distract students who already have a well-developed interest in a topic, whereas these same triggers promote situational interest for students in the earlier phases of interest” (Harackiewicz, Smith, & Priniski, 2016).
