Arrive on time for your virtual or phone interview
- Your virtual interview will be through video via FaceTime, Zoom, or WhatsApp, OR a phone interview.
- During the interview, I will explain my review of your child’s portfolio and declare a pass/fail of the evaluation. Please do not be alarmed by the word “fail”. Although it is possible for a child to “fail” a portfolio evaluation, it is rare.
- Afterward, I will speak with your child briefly. This is not a formal conversation, so you don't need to be nervous or practice your responses!
- I will ask your child how their homeschool year has been and ask them to tell me one or two things they learned during the year. I will then give them my positive review of their progress and encourage them to maintain a positive attitude and do their best.
- I will conclude the interview by asking you if you have any further concerns about the evaluation.
- This process is fast and easy!
