What exactly is a homeschool

portfolio?

A homeschool portfolio is a collection of your child¡¯s academic work

and is created to provide a detailed record of what your child has

learned. It should show proof that your child is learning adequately,

mastering concepts, and showing progress.

The first step in knowing what to include in a homeschool portfolio

is finding out what your state¡¯s homeschool requirements are.

Once you know, you¡¯ll be able to determine how detailed your

homeschool portfolio should be. Note that some states do not

require a homeschool portfolio. However, it¡¯s still a good idea to keep

one, especially when your child enters high school and he or she

plans on attending college.

A solid homeschool portfolio can include a

number of different things, including, but not

limited to:

Reports/ report cards

Attendance record

Book logs

Worksheets

Writing assignments such as essays, book reports

Tests/assessments

List of curricula / materials used

Photos of projects, experiments, and educational field trips

10 Tips for Organizing a

Homeschool Portfolio

1.

Keep a homeschool portfolio for each child and each academic

year.

2. Use a 3-ring binder with tabs for different subjects and

assignments (book reports, tests, etc).

3. Start with items pertaining to your state¡¯s required subjects;

then, add on anything else from extracurricular activities, field

trips, projects, etc.

4. Make sure all items are dated and kept in chronological order.

5. PIck a few assignments from each subject and make sure they

are spread out throughout the year (beginning, middle, and

end).

6. Use clear page protectors to prevent ripping and any other

damage.

7.

Go through the binder every month and store as you go.

8. Keep a separate section for awards and certificates.

9. Include an attendance sheet. Some states have a required

number of school days that must be met each year.

10. Print your child¡¯s Time4Learning reports on a regular basis.

There are various ones to choose from: attendance, duration,

and student score. You can search within the last week, month

or by entering a date range.
