Portfolio Work Sample Ideas

Here are some ideas of ways you can document student work and show your children’s progress in each of the subject areas required in WV. These are just some ideas/examples, but anything you can show me that demonstrates the progress they have made is totally fine as a work sample. Feel free to be creative in how you document what they have done and accomplished!

Math

Reading

Language Arts

Science

Social Studies


Several methods you can use to share your child’s work samples with me digitally

Private Facebook group

If using a private Facebook group is a method you’d like to use to organize and share your children’s work samples digitally, check out this video tutorial where I show you how to set up and utilize this digital portfolio method.


Google Drive

Here is a quick video tutorial I created to show how to set up a digital portfolio using Google Drive! This is just one way to share your child’s work samples digitally, but hopefully this video helps in case you aren’t sure how to get started or set it up.

This YouTube video is by Jessica Waldock from The Waldock Way. In this video, she gives a tutorial and shows how she uses OneNote to organize her daughter’s work samples digitally and share it with her reviewer/evaluator. I have had several clients use this platform to share their portfolio with me and it is a pretty simple method. Just keep in mind that Jessica lives in FL and may have different homeschool assessment requirements in her state’s homeschool laws. The portfolio method can still be utilized without showing attendance records or other aspects that is not required in WV or VA.
