When you homeschool, keeping records of your child’s academic progress is essential. This information can be used to prove that your child is meeting state standards and is eligible to homeschool.
What should I know about keeping homeschool records?
First, check your state’s laws and regulations for homeschooling to determine what type of records you need to keep. This may include attendance records, curriculum plans, evaluations or assessments, and your child’s work samples.
Next, choose a method for organizing and storing your records. This can be as simple as keeping a physical folder or binder with all the necessary documents or using an online program or app to keep track of everything digitally. Whichever option you choose, make sure it is easily accessible and organized in a way that makes sense.
It is also essential to establish a routine for recording information. Set aside time each day or week to update necessary documents, such as attendance records or evaluations. This will ensure that your records are always up-to-date and accurate.
Lastly, ensure you understand and adhere to any legal requirements for homeschool record keeping in your state or country. Consult with local homeschool organizations or laws to determine what needs to be included in your records and how long they should be kept.
