Evaluation in Homeschooling

Evaluation is a necessary part of homeschooling, as it will determine what your child has gained and whether certain objectives were met. I use rubrics to evaluate my son's assignments, projects, etc. for it is an authentic assessment that measures his performance according to the specific objectives and respective standards covered. For instance, for his reflections I have used the following:

RUBRIC FOR REFLECTION













It may be challenging to create specific rubrics, but it is necessary to monitor progress, improve instruction, etc. I encourage other educators to create their own rubrics, so that they may continue to effectively evaluate their students. Good luck!
