Narrative transcript/class description

[Lyssaflin2]

I'm finishing the narrative transcript/class descriptions and I've been told by a consultant that each class needs to specify the teacher/mentor. For over half the classes, that's just me. Do you put the parent's name on each class that wasn't with an outside provider?

Thanks!

I had a line at the top of mine that said all classes were taught by me except where otherwise noted.

Only for college classes. In the course descriptions, I listed the professor's name. I did not specifically state that the other classes were taught by me (it's clear from the materials that we're a homeschool, so I would think that this is default unless otherwise stated).
In the school profile, I explained the setup of our homeschool.

I noted the teacher in all our class descriptions even if it was me. We've used co-ops, online classes and DE classes it is a lot to track. I also noted it on the transcript:

*Course taught and graded by instructor other than parent through either a co-op class or online class

**Dual Enrollment at Chattahoochee Technical College - official transcript available upon request

***Dual Enrollment at Kennesaw State University - official transcript available upon request

Agreeing with the above. It's silly to list your name on every class. Make it clear at the top that you oversaw all home-based courses.

I didn't put any names of people with one exception.  I named my son's violin/viola teacher because she is a well known violinist.  Other than that, I just named institutions.

No.  I made no secret that we homeschool and that meant that classes were done at home with me.  I wouldn't provide a single teachers' name.  If a class was taken outside of home, I simply provided the source.

Thank you all!

I only listed names for a few instances where the instructor credentials were significant, like Lukeion Project courses.

Just be sure you follow the requirements of the schools where your dc wants to apply.  One university in our state specifically requires homeschoolers to provide the name and credentials of all teachers - their degrees and the conferring institutions, if possible.  Crazy, but it's selective and wants to be  sure homeschoolers come in prepared to succeed.  ETA: Less selective schools in the state don't even want course descriptions. It all depends on the school.

Do you mind sharing the name of the university that does this? I'm writing a guide to course descriptions and would love to include this as an example of specific asks from colleges.

I'll PM you.
