Preparing a Homeschool Portfolio by Richele

Here in the great state of Texas we are not required to submit a homeschool portfolio, but since many states are, I wanted to share this wonderfully informative article by my dear friend Richele over at Under the Golden Apple Tree.

What is a Homeschool Portfolio?

A homeschool portfolio is a window into your child's homeschool experience, achievements, and academic progress, throughout the school year.  There are more then on way to keep a portfolio but I will list the core items you will need.  However, always check your state laws, homeschool co-ops, and with the evaluator, on what materials are required. 

 

The Basic Supplies

• 3 ring binder {3 inches or more thick}
• dividers
• page protectors
• Sharpies
• computer paper to print out basic forms
• samples of your child's work
• photos {optional}

 

Forms to Provide

• Attendance Form:
• List of Curriculum and Resources
• Reading List
• Daily or Weekly Routine
• Record of Grades or Progress Report
