End Of Year Portfolio Evaluations
I do portfolio evaluations for homeschoolers across Florida, as well as Virginia. If your state law allows a “certified teacher in any state” to conduct the end of the year portfolio evaluations, I can do yours too!
Nearly 50% of the evaluations I did last year were long-distance evaluations. Clients scan and email me samples of the child’s work and here in Florida, to satisfy the state requirement, I then call your child and we have a short follow-up conversation on the phone or via Skype.
You can also snail mail me your child’s portfolio. Some people prefer to do this and I will mail it back to you.
Don’t worry! When you come away from a meeting with me you will feel empowered and inspired. Evaluations should always be informative and relaxed.
What You’ll Need To Produce (this is for Florida – other states vary slightly.)
* A log of academic activities.
* Student samples in each subject area from the beginning, middle and end of the school year.
* A list of all books read during the year. Books that you or someone else has read to the student count also.
* Your student. To satisfy state requirements I need to have a short, informal conversation with your student.
* Any questions you may have for me.
Cost: I offer end-of-the-year portfolio evaluations for $40 per child. Siblings receive a discounted rate of $25. If you have 4 or more children, total will not exceed $100.
Location
I like to meet local clients at a predetermined, relaxing destination such as Starbucks or Books-A-Million.
A typical evaluation usually takes no more than one hour.
What we look at is yearly progress. As a homeschooling mom myself, I know that often the progress you think you’ll make during the year is not exactly what you thought you’d see at the end of the year. It’s often much more than you’d expected!
Please see my FAQ Page for answers to more questions regarding the state requirements, etc.
