As a 'qualified person' with a graduate degree in education, I offer evaluation services to CO homeschooling families as required by Colorado State Law. For families living outside the state of Colorado, I am available to evaluate students educated with the Charlotte Mason philosophy and methodology. However, this evaluation is for the family’s use only, not for an official evaluation required by their particular state. The evaluation I provide is based on the educational philosophy of Charlotte Mason and the methods used by examiners of her Parents’ National Education Union Schools. This is a holistic approach which considers the whole personhood of the child as the work is evaluated. A student portfolio made up of a Parent Letter, a Student Work Summary, and either a copy of the student’s recently completed comprehensive examination or a sampling of the student’s work is completed by the parent and sent in for evaluation. Following the assessment of these items, I will compose a detailed progress report to be sent to the family and, if required, a letter summarizing the progress of the student to be sent to the Colorado educational institution with whom the student is registered. The cost for the evaluation service is $100. A family discount may be given if multiple students are being assessed.  Email to schedule your evaluation today!

"Jennifer being so experienced and steeped in the Charlotte Mason philosophy of education for so many years, upon meeting my children for the first time for their assessment was able to put them both at ease and simply have them tell all about the various subjects that had been covered in an entire year. She is at her core a peaceful beautiful person who is respectful and encouraging to students which helps them thrive. It was as if my children could sense Jennifer’s eager expectation of their doing well along with her accommodating their style of learning along with using variety in assessment that to them it was such an enjoyable day spent together my children asked if they could do it again! An unexpected benefit from the assessment with Jennifer was that it was a big boost in confidence for each of my children! They came away from this experience enjoying telling all they knew which helped them realize how much they had learned. It helped me too to know they are indeed learning and growing! The detailed feedback and her helpful tips were a valuable tool as an educator and parent." - Kelly, CM Homeschool Parent/Teacher
