Everyone is Different!
Every child is different with different learning styles and needs.
All parents are different with different educational beliefs and values.
These differences are some of the reasons
We allow our children to learn outside of a traditional setting.
A Portfolio Evaluation allows these differences to shine through.
You and your child can share with me your lives as learners.
In a comfortable home atmosphere
Where differences are recognized & appreciated.
I endeavor to make your visit a bright spot in your learning year. It is a time for you and your child to share your life as learners with me. I enjoy hearing about all the topics your family is interested in.
Life’s too Short for Worksheets!
As many of you know I have been living the last two years with a non-smokers lung cancer. Over Christmas I came close to knowing more than I wanted about how short life is and what is important as we make our way through each day. If you and time grant me the chance to do your families evaluation this year I have made a few rules for us to follow in our quest to live, love and learn with our families. You already know I do portfolio evaluations and I do not do testing. To this I am adding: I do not review worksheets or workbooks. I only want to see examples of you and your family living, loving and learning together. Life is too short for anything else.
New Hampshire State Law states that parents are required to keep a portfolio of work for two years and have the child evaluated at the end of each year by a certified teacher or national achievement test.
