Homeschooling in Brazil

Homeschooling allows children to get closer to their parents to engage in dialogue encouragement love respect freedom of learning character development and above all to use their intelligence skills talents and abilities to find solutions to society's problems. This book invites readers to learn about the contributions of Home Teaching in the Brazilian context a modality that has been successfully practised in several countries. By exploring and describing theories of learning this book offers an analysis of the effects of home education on teaching/learning allowing readers to enter the territory of Home Education and learn about the current challenges. Although we know that the challenges to be faced are great we cannot fail to recognise the progress made in building the paradigms and practices of Home Education which has managed to sow new territories of hope in Brazilian education. I recommend this book as an important read for parents and education professionals and I wish you all a pleasant read! Judite Chaves.
