Benefits For Group Administration
The suite of online tools provided by Homeschool Data Bank provides these important benefits to homeschool group administrators:
Streamlines Oversight and Accountability
We provide homeschooling parents/educators with easy-to-use tools for entering and managing academic records. This provides parents with the independence and control they like, while also affording group administrators the ability to assist if and when requested.
Increases Staff Availability to Work With Parents and Students
We make record keeping tasks so easy that the average homeschooling parent/educator can enter and manage their own respective records. Shifting the record keeping tasks to the parents reduces the workload on group administrative staff. Group staff can then spend more time assisting parents/educators in identifying and achieving academic goals for their students.
Eliminates Paper Forms For Data Collection
Managing homeschool groups doesn’t have to be overwhelming - with dozens or hundreds of forms to distribute, collect, and manually process. Homeschool Data Bank eliminates that by enabling the parents/educators to enter all records online. We provide a suite of tools and reports specifically designed to bring simplicity and efficiency for homeschool group administration. With our intuitive platform, you can streamline management tasks, track student progress in real time, and eliminate paper forms— all so you can focus on delivering an excellent educational experience for every student.
Eliminates Duplicate Data Entry
Homeschool Data Bank requests each bit of information only once. This includes student information (name, grade level, etc.), course of study (class names and descriptions), student work samples, and more. Entered information appears wherever it is needed, like in reports, transcripts, and report cards. There is no need to copy or re-enter information for each place where it subsequently appears.
Compare that to paper records using printed forms, or Google docs, or Microsoft Office apps like Word and Excel. With these such generic tools, duplicate data entry is required because student name, grade level, and more has to be entered into each form or document. Such repetitive data entry takes a lot of time and effort, with such tedious tasks prone to error and frustration. But it does not have to be that way. Homeschool Data Bank completely eliminates any need for such duplicate data entry, thereby making the record keeping process easy and efficient.
Simplifies Administrative Staff Training
Homeschool Data Bank standardizes the record-keeping process, telling you exactly what to do every step of the way for each student, each semester. This means you don't need to train new administrative staff. Just have them log into Homeschool Data Bank and we will show them exactly what to do. We provide on-screen prompts, helpful information, and dynamic checklist for each student. The dynamic checklist automatically updates to show what has been completed and what is next for each student.
Simplifies Parent/Educator Training
Because Homeschool Data Bank standardizes the record keeping process, you can simply tell your group's parents/educators to log into Homeschool Data Bank and follow the prompts. We show them exactly what to do every step of the way, and include helpful explanatory text for each part of the process.
How We Support Homeschool Group Administrators
Homeschool Data Bank provides a robust set of features tailored to the unique needs of homeschool group administrators. Our platform is designed to help you handle everything from course definitions to checking attendance records, and even reviewing student work samples uploaded by your group's parents/educators. We make it easy to manage your homeschool group efficiently.
Features for group administrators:
1. Administrative Reports
Group administrators can generate reports showing record-keeping status of all families within their group.
For example: Status of each student's course of study can be reviewed, along with monthly evaluation status, and whether final grades have been entered at the end of each academic term.
2. Course Definitions and Credit Verification
Group administrators can review and verify the accuracy of courses as requested by parents/teachers within their group. This includes verification of course materials, grade level, or credit hours per class.
3. Automatic Reminder Emails Sent to Parents/Educators
Homeschool Data Bank keeps track of record-keeping status for each student. When incomplete recordkeeping tasks are due Homeschool Data Bank automatically sends an email notification to the parents/educators. The email is a friendly reminder to perform the tasks. The email has a button that can be clicked or tapped to open the page where the task can be completed.
These automatic reminders require no time on the part of group administrators because Homeschool Data Bank sends the reminders automatically.
4. Report Card Review
Group administrators can review the accuracy of report cards and suggest corrections to parents before report cards are finalized.
5. Easy Onboarding Process For Parents/Educators
Homeschool Data Bank makes it easy to register parents. Through our "Invitations" feature all you have to do is: (1) Enter the name of the parent/educator, and (2) enter their email address, then (3) click a button to send an invitation email message to the parents. They get an email message that provides a brief introduction to Homeschool Data Bank and prompts them to enter their own password. They can then register each of their students and go from there. It could not be easier for either the school administrators or the parents/educators.
Parents who sign up through one of our invitation email messages are automatically registered with the homeschool support group who sent the invitation.
6. Real-Time Monitoring and Reporting
Stay on top of your group's families' progress with real-time monitoring and reporting. Our tools give you instant oversight of each families' student’s attendance, grades, and course completion status. Generate professional reports for inclusion in each student's cumulative file, thereby helping you satisfy state record-keeping requirements.
7. Administrative Tools for Seamless Coordination
Managing a homeschool group requires managing courses definitions, reviewing attendance, and otherwise ensuring parents/educators are performing their data record-keeping tasks as expected. Our platform includes powerful administrative tools that allow you to set up course definitions, verify credits, and generate reports for each family and each student. With our group admin dashboard, you can manage multiple families and students with ease.
About Homeschool Support Group Assistance
While student records management in homeschools is primarily the responsibility of parents/teachers, support group administrators may assist by modifing student records as may be requested or helpful.
This kind of assistance may be a benefit of membership in a homeschool support group that uses Homeschool Data Bank. What specific assistance is provided by a support group depends on policies and practices of each respective support group. While we provide tools for online academic record-keeping, Homeschool Data Bank does not participate in support group management and does not control or inform support group policy.
