Annual Educational Evaluations & Testing

QUICK & SIMPLE

I have been doing Annual Educational Evaluations for every county in the state of Florida since 2003.

I am working to make the time of Annual Educational Evaluations stress free for the whole family. Hopefully, this will enable you all to have more quality time together.

I can evaluate and/or test any grade level in any county of Florida. You will find my FL Dept. of Education certificate # listed as Charles Tucker certified K-9th Integrated Curriculum. I am currently a valid, certified teacher with the Florida state dept. of education renewal date: June 30, 2016.

I also conduct any standardized test with your children, group and/or school that you like. I administer every standardized test available in accordance with the Florida State Laws, as well as the national norm referenced tests from across the U.S.A.

I am Charles Curtis Tucker. I am a home schooling parent since 1999 & a U.S. certified teacher since 1994 & a Florida certified teacher since 1996. I finally resigned from full-time classroom teaching in 2005 to focus more on my family, homeschooling, educational workshops, promoting home education, watersports, marine industries, and being a helpful part of our community as much as possible. I am also an approved standardized test administrator.

Please click on the BLOG / Message Board / FAQ link to find much of the information that many people are looking for about Annual Educational Evaluations.

I have always been known by my middle name, Curtis, since my dad's first name is also Charles and he was also a professional educator / teacher / professor for more than 30 years.

Home Education is the BEST! Although almost all my family are teachers: my parents, brother and sister, grand parents, great aunts & uncles, etc., my wife & I are the first in our families to homeschool our children !?! My wife's parents are teachers also.

I can do Annual Educational Evaluations for every grade level.

I do Annual Educational Evaluations in person at your location OR through emails, U.S. Post, which include & phone / Skype conversations (Cyber Evaluation).

I can do Annual Educational Evaluations in every county of Florida.

Portfolio Reviews, for the Annual Educational Evaluation, are sooooo easy & effective.Thank you Florida State Dept. of Education! I can receive by email, or in the U.S. Post, samples of the student's work (portfolio). I have a conversation with the student by phone or computer, review the work, and then scan and attach to an email the evaluation, as required by Florida State law ss.1002.41, and send it immediately, and directly to you and the county if you so desire. Many county school offices allow me to email the Annual Educational Evaluation directly to them to be processed and recorded. This makes it sooo simple. I can also mail by regular U.S. Post the evaluation letter to you if you prefer.

The Annual Educational Evaluation done by email, U.S. Post, computer or phone conversation (Cyber Evaluation) is only $25.

The Annual Educational Evaluation done in person is $30 for the 1st student & $25 for each additional student at the same location on that same day.

The Conversation over the phone or via Skype.com. is simply a formality. The evaluation is solely based on the grade reports/transcripts or portfolio work samples showing progress comensurate to the students ability. I use the conversation with the student to encourage the student to practice everything as much as possible and do their best. I ask the homeschooled student a few simple, relaxed questions like "what is your favorite subject, etc. It is very simple, relaxed, stress free and professional.

In both of the above stated Annual Educational Evaluation methods, I evaluate if the student is progressing at a level comensurate with his or her ability, as stated in Florida ss.1002.41. If the student is in deed progressing comensurate to their ability level, I will give you the evaluation in person, send it to you through the U.S. Post or I will scan & e-mail the evaluation letter to you, signed and dated ready for you to print to fulfill your annual educational evaluation requirement in the state of Florida. If you like I will also send you an original form, filled out and signed both with my certificate number and expiration date for you to send to your county office.

Cyber evaluations make complying with homeschool requirements very economical, fast and easy. Many county offices allow me to send the evaluation letter attached to an email sent directly to them and they print and file them immediatedly. It is so streamline and easy. You will get copies and documentation of everything.

Group Discounts

Once I travel to a place to do an evaluation, to do several more evaluations at that location is very convenient and economical for everyone. If the distance traveled is more than 10 miles there is a nominal fuel fee of 30 cents per mile over 10 miles.

I can evaluate 1 or more children from the same family, as well as groups of children from several families at the same place (such as the library, church or one family's house - wherever you all feel comfortable). In this way families save time & money.

Standardized Test Administration

I also administer standardized tests such as the Stanford Achievement Test, Iowa Test of basic skills, CTBS, etc... Each of these is a different cost according to the ordering of the particular test. Please call me for details on testing costs and procedures. Like stated above, they are all a little different so it depends on which one you desire most.

A Little About Me

I spent 12 years full time teaching in the classrooms of public and private schools in Europe, the U.S.A. and South America, and I have been homeschooling our children with my very Wonderful, beautiful and intelligent wife for the past 12 years, I am extremely inspired everyday to promote homeschooling and excellent home education in every way possible.

My goals for getting involved in providing evaluations are to encourage home- schooling, and make it as stress-free, and as effective and productive as possible.

Providing low cost Annual Educational Evaluations is one of the best ways for me to achieve these goals and be a helpful participant in our community.

We live in the St. Augustine/Jacksonville area and we travel to S. Florida monthly, therefore I am available for portfolio evaluations and can administer standardized tests in all counties of FL.

Once again, the state department of education enabling us to do cyber evaluations has made portfolio evaluations super convenient for everyone.
