That Counts as School?!

Ever finished a perfectly good homeschool day and still wondered, “But did we actually do enough?”

That Counts as School?! is a real life guide for homeschool parents who want to get better at recognising the learning that's already happening.

Inside, you'll learn how to spot what your child is actually doing, recognise the skills and subjects involved, follow an interest when it's worth following, and record the learning in a way that makes sense.

Using real examples from our homeschool, including projects, everyday life, days out, things that went completely off-plan, and moments I didn't even recognise as learning until afterwards. I'll show you how I learned to look beyond whether something looked like school and start paying attention to what my kids were actually doing.

Inside you'll find:

• A simple four-lens method for spotting learning: DO, NOTICE, ASK and WORK OUT
• How to follow and extend an interest without killing it with “school”
• A practical guide to recognising English, Maths, Science, HASS, Technologies, The Arts, HPE and Wellbeing in real life
• How one experience can naturally cross several subjects
• A simple way to name why an activity counts
• Ideas for recording evidence without turning your life into paperwork
• A quick reference subject guide to come back to whenever you're thinking, Does this count?

This isn't a replacement for maths books, reading, writing or structured lessons.

We can have both.

The point isn't to make everything count as school.

It's to stop overlooking the learning that's already there.
