| High School Transcripts for Homeschoolers |

As a homeschooling parent, you are responsible for creating a transcript. There is no such thing as a standard transcript form even among school districts. Generally, the more competitive the college, the more detailed the transcript. |
| Homeschooling Essentials: The Portfolio |

Linked |
| |
From the Homeschool Learning Network. The portfolio process is a delightful way to peek into your past learning experiences, and is also an excellent way to be accountable and track your learning. While you read through old binders and boxes you will find yourself living in the past. You will see with your own eyes how much you have actually learned! Wouldn't it be great to put those past experiences to work for you? |
| Multiple Intelligences: Gardner's Theory |
| |
ERIC |
| |
This digest discusses the origins of Gardner's Theory of Multiple Intelligences, his definition of intelligence, the incorporation of the Theory of Multiple Intelligences into the classroom, and its role in alternative assessment practices. |
| Portfolios for Assessment and Instruction |
| |
ERIC |
| |
Because there is no single correct way to "do" portfolios, and because they appear to be used for so many things, developing a portfolio system can spell confusion and stress, much coming from not realizing that portfolios are a means to an end and not an end in themselves. More specifically, confusion occurs to the extent there is lack of clarity on: (a) the purpose to be served by the portfolio, and (b) the specific skills to be developed or assessed by the portfolio. |
| Science Notebooks: Tools For Increasing Achievement Across the Curriculum |
| |
ERIC |
| |
With the implementation of science notebooks, students become actively involved in their own learning. Students are afforded the opportunity to investigate content in which they are naturally interested and to wrestle with authentic problems. It only makes sense that achievement is enhanced in all areas of the curriculum. |
