Mentors should read the History Guidebook before teaching Layers of Learning History. It will teach you the philosophy behind history education and behind the Layers of Learning approach.

• Utilize the Library Lists to read the best books for your children from your library
• Teach multiple ages or abilities at once
• Use each of the sidebars
• Plan assessments for your students based on your individual learning path, not on a textbook author’s ideas of what is important
• Have confidence that you can plan the best education for your children
