What and Why...
Twice per school year, (once each semester) Visions collects work samples from students. These samples are intended to show our auditors that our enrolled students are actually enrolled, and that they are engaging in the academic activities on their master agreement. They are also used to demonstrate that there is a responsible adult who is reviewing and or grading their work.
When..
I will be collecting Semester 2 samples at our next meeting.
How...
You may submit samples from your own curriculum, use the provided samples (K-8, 9th - 12th grade courses are so variable that it is impossible to create packets), or any combination of the two. Samples must be work from LP6.
Please provide one written sample from each subject.
Instructions for using provided samples (K-8th grades):
- Download and print the work sample packet or individual pages you intend to use.
- Have your student complete the worksheet(s).
- Grade and or comment on each sample in a different color than the student worked.
- Please do not put dates or LP#s on worksheets.
- When possible, please leave upper right corner blank for the school's generated label.
- Match the standard code on your semester plan drop-downs for LP6 to the one on the sample.
- Submit to CT at next meeting.
If you would rather submit samples from your own curriculum (all 9-12th graders):
- Samples cannot be from a religious publisher (handouts, worksheets with publisher’s name on them). Handwritten work on blank or lined paper that is from religious curriculum, but is not addressing religious themes, is fine.
- Match the standard drop-downs on your semester plan for LP6 to the samples. You can make your best guess here, and I will help you when I collect the samples.
- Samples cannot be a test or multiple choice, they must show student work. (Samples where student just matches, underlines, or circles items are not sufficient, there must be some written work on the page.)
- Grade and or comment on each sample in a different color than the student worked.
- Please do not put dates or LP#s on worksheets.
- When possible, please leave upper right corner blank for label.
- Submit to CT at next meeting.
