1. Choose your books
Start by searching the thousands of living, CM-friendly books and other resources in the Bookfinder. The Bookfinder includes books and resources that have been personally reviewed by the SCM team, plus books and resources that have been shared by other CM Organizer users.
If you don’t see the book or resource you want to use, it’s easy to add your own. The CM Organizer can even look up the details for you from the ISBN number.
2. Schedule your books
The Resource Scheduler is designed especially for literature-based lessons and flexible scheduling. Assign your selected books to your students with a variety of Charlotte Mason-specific study methods such as Read and narrate and Do a picture study, or add your own custom method. Schedule a resource to start on any day, or choose to begin using it with or after a resource that’s already scheduled. The CM Organizer gives you the flexibility to take your schedule one day at a time.
With the Scheduler’s chapter selector, you have complete freedom to customize which chapters you’ll use from each book. Schedule chapters in any order, or skip the ones you don’t need.
3. Check off your progress
Focus on what you need to do today with the Daily Plan. You’ll see just the assignments that need to be accomplished today. Simply check off whether your child worked on or finished each assignment—that’s all there is to it. The CM Organizer records your progress and shows you the next assignment.
If you do one of Wednesday’s assignments on Monday, you can easily record it. If you completed more than one assignment today, just mark off everything you accomplished. And if you unexpectedly have to skip a day of school work, no problem. The CM Organizer will update your schedule to match your pace.
If you get behind recording school work, the Daily Plan has you covered. You can record work from any previous day whenever you have time.
4. Create your reports
Quickly create reports of work accomplished for any range of dates, whether it’s the entire school year or yesterday. The CM Organizer also creates attendance and bibliography reports for you to use if your state requires those.
