Evaluator
An evaluator is a person who reviews a homeschooled child's work and progress, usually at the end of a school year, and may write a letter or report about it.
Who may act as an evaluator, and whether one is needed, is set by each state where it applies. Families in other states sometimes use one by choice for an outside view.
For the record you keep
Bring dated work samples in order, an attendance summary and a list of subjects and materials; ask the evaluator in advance what format they prefer.
One record for any method
Lessons, the learning log and work samples all count toward attendance, hours and the year-end packet.
