West Virginia's homeschool evaluation: who can sign, what they review, and June 30

Who may sign

The signer is a certified teacher.

What the evaluator reviews, and what it produces

The evaluator looks at a portfolio of samples of the student's work. What comes out of that review is a written narrative on the student's progress in reading, language, mathematics, science, and social studies, noting any area that needs improvement (the teacher's written narrative).

When it is due

The teacher's written narrative goes to the county superintendent, in grades 3, 5, 8, and 11 by June 30.

Other ways to meet this requirement

West Virginia's law also lists these ways to meet the yearly requirement, apart from an outside evaluation:

• a nationally normed standardized achievement test
• the state's public school testing program
• an alternative assessment agreed on with the county superintendent

Worth knowing

• The assessment is annual; the results are submitted to the county superintendent at grades 3, 5, 8, and 11 by June 30 of the year the assessment was given.

For families

The portfolio, the log, and the samples an evaluator asks to see are easiest to produce when they were kept as the year happened, not assembled the week before June 30. A photo of a finished project, a logged book, a math sample each month: each one is a thirty-second entry, and by the time the evaluator asks, the record already exists.

The record is free for families, forever: capture, the expense log, the portfolio, the verifiable transcript, verification, export. Generating filled-in artifacts, like an annual 529 expense file or an ESA quarterly report, is the one optional paid family service, part of Family Pro at $119 per year, and every document previews filled-in, free, first.

For evaluators

If you are the person who signs this evaluation, Eformogi's free form for West Virginia walks through what the regulation asks you to review and produces the teacher's written narrative in a format built from W. Va. Code §18-8-1(c). The form is free forever. No evaluator is ever paid by Eformogi for signing, and no evaluator's fee is ever shared with us.

An evaluation that is missing the signer's qualification under the statute, the review dates, or what was reviewed is incomplete, and the free form asks for each of those before it produces the teacher's written narrative.
