Portfolio Variations for Florida Unschoolers and Non-trad homeschoolers
How to prepare an unschooler portfolio.
As per Florida law, the homeschool evaluation portfolio must include three items:
1. Samples of your unschooled child’s progress
2. A dated log of educational activities
3. Titles that your child read during the year
Compile these three items and then email them to me as PDFs.
“School work” is not the only means to demonstrate progress.

4. End of year sample - Area II
- (one pdf or photo or video or link for each)
Alternatively, schedule a portfolio / video interview combo
to show live samples of your child’s progress.
2. Prepare a log of educational activities
- Your unschooler is learning all throughout the day and year. To fulfill this Florida requirement, please provide a scan of your child’s activity log.
- This is a list of any educational experiences your child had during the
year. (Dates not required)
- For example: library visits, travel, cooking, field trips, experiments, co-op,
documentaries, projects, games, and other activities.
- Please include this activity log in the portfolio email as a PDF.
3. List the titles your unschooler has read this year
- To fulfill this Florida requirement, make a list of at least two titles.
- These can be titles of ANYTHING that your child has read, including: books, articles, recipes, manuals of any kind, brochures, magazines, blogs, poetry, blogs, or anything else they have read!
- Include these titles in the email as a PDF.
- Title the email as: Parent Name - Child’s last name, first name, birthdate
- I will begin the evaluation process by reviewing your child’s portfolio, checking for evidence of progress. This will happen prior to the phone or video interview.
