The Allowance as a Teaching Tool from the University of Nebraska will give you some practical answers.

Kid Scoop moms scour the web for great resources for homeschoolers, parents and teachers! This week we found a great set of organizer pages for the homeschooling parent. (I think they are great for any mom!)
