Monthly Learning Records
GECS creates a monthly report to document students’ progress through the California StateStandards and other personally selected benchmarks. The report 
is the result of an interview between the student, parent and teacher. The teacher records all subjects covered. For each subject entry, the teacher documents three things:
Materials: book names, video titles, internet site addresses, pages, chapters or lessons covered,
Concepts: What did the student learn? What concepts was he or she exposed to?
Method of Study: What activities were employed to learn the concepts? Read and answer questions? Observation? Experiments?
Assessment: How did the student prove learning had taken place? Was there an essay? A quiz? A presentation? A drawing?
In addition to the above information, the learning record also includes time value for the work, as determined by the credentialed teacher. The time value of the work is used to substantiate attendance apportionment for that student, and to track the volume of work completed toward assigning credits.
Attached to the Learning record are representative samples of original student work. At each visit, the teacher checks student work, and collects samples of that work. She or he attaches representative samples of that work to the learning record report.
When learning records are complete, they are turned in to the School coordinator for review and filing. The learning record is the primary document supporting apportionment, credits and documentation of student work.
