Online Portfolio Evaluations!

How Portfolio Evaluations Work:

As part of our social distancing efforts, we are still scheduling remote services. Thank you for using our online and by-mail evaluation options.


You bring your portfolio over to my home office and I go over it right there with you. I do have a brief Information Sheet for you to fill out - nothing too complex, it just helps me spell your names correctly! Depending on how organized you are, I might have questions--not really a formal  interview, but often families do more than they quantify in a homeschool portfolio ,  or things are poorly labeled, and I'd hate to short-shrift you. If your student is present, I try to ask them questions or involve them in some  way, lest they be stuck sitting there for a half-hour or more doing nothing. If I have concerns, I tend to discuss them with you rather than include them in the official evaluation letter.


I schedule evaluations assuming 50 minutes for one or two students and 80 minutes for larger families. A confident mom with one student and a  neatly organized portfolio will be out of here in a half hour. A mom with a thousand questions, four kids, and a box of books and papers will  take a lot longer. (And, of course, if a disorganized parent of two arrives 30 minutes late, evaluations simply aren't possible. This is where we reschedule and an "appointment fee" kicks in.) A copy of my  current teaching certificate is available upon request.


While portfolios are typically evaluated sometime in May or June, it's best to call for an appointment in the early Spring -- it can be very encouraging to have a "last day of school" to aim for when the spring fever sets in! Please remember that all New Hampshire homeschoolers are required to keep a student portfolio for two years and, if you are using  portfolio evaluation to comply with New Hampshire homeschool law, you must have your student's portfolio evaluated “annually.”
