Subject: Need Help: Diversity in Homeschooling?

Dear Friends,

I received a call this afternoon from a reporter working on an article for a professional magazine in the Washington, DC area. She's trying to determine if there are any statistics available on the racial/ethnic diversity of homeschooling families. Anyone know any resources, articles, or websites I could send her to? Thanks!

 
Helen -
 
There's a group called the National Home Education Research Institute (www.nheri.org) - their website contains some basic facts, or a complete research document can be ordered from their website as well.
 
Another site, done by the U.S. Department of Education is http://www.ed.gov/offices/OERI/SAI/homeschool/index.html
 
 
Also, the new National Home Education Network (NHEN) is just getting started, but I believe this is the type of information they would like to provide in the future, and may have some preliminary information compiled (www.nhen.org)
