Annual Progress Reports? (especially if you're in GA)

[smrtmama]

Georgia law requires us to write annual progress reports for our homeschoolers. Luckily, we aren't required to turn them in to anyone, just to write them and keep them. I'm a little stumped on what to write, however.

 

What do you put in your annual reports? How do you format them? If you put them in your blog, would you be willing to share the link?

 

THANKS!

These have actually come in handy through the years.

 

I include the subjects studied, texts/curriculum used, favorite subjects, favorite books, extracurricular activities, students strengths and weaknesses, plans for the next year.

 

If students were graded (i.e. high school) I included grades received as well.

For the last eight years, I've written about a paragraph for each subject, as well as any extras (sports/field trips/outside classes). I list what we have used (curriculum, etc) and what progress has been made.

 

Just keep it simple, and write it more for yourself than anyone else.

Thanks for asking - I've got to write mine up this weekend. I guess I have a headstart since I kept a list of each book we used, broken down by subject, and have the tentative plans drawn up for next year. So, I just need to flesh it out a little, maybe noting how I think the student did or what we need to work on in the future, and write about any field trips?

The delightful Quiet_Daisy linked me to this page, which has examples from Pennsylvania. It's more than I need to do, but the examples were helpful! http://home.comcast.net/~askpauline/hs/portsummaries/homeschoolportsummaries.htm

my lesson plan book, which includes a list of textbooks, reading materials, field trips, extracurricular activities, etc. I also keep scoring reports from any standardized tests taken during that school year.
