Work sample

A work sample is a piece of a child's actual work, such as a page of math, a written narration or a photo of a project, kept as evidence of learning.

Samples are most useful when they are dated and chosen to show progress over time. Representative work tells a more honest story than only the best work.

For the record you keep

Photograph or keep the sample the day it is made and file it under the child and subject.
