The Role

The School Education Act allows parents to exercise educational choice. One option allows parents to choose to register as home educators who assume responsibility for their children’s education during the compulsory years of school. The Department registers and monitors home educators to confirm that the educational programs delivered to children at home meet the requirements of the Western Australian Curriculum and Assessment Outline and that the children are showing educational progress.

Home School Moderators will effectively liaise with home educating families to evaluate their programs and student progress, ensuring that programs being implemented are adequate to the needs and abilities of the students. Home Education Moderators are often required to respectfully provide advice to home educators regarding improvements to their programs and assessment of student progress. Home Education Moderators require a thorough understanding of the Western Australian Curriculum, across all phases of learning, to ensure that a quick and comprehensive evaluation can be completed and reported upon.
