I have over 200 beautiful and free homeschool planning pages and I have more for you on my homeschool planner page.

One of the most important parts and the largest part of your homeschool planner are the lesson planning pages.

It’s important that you have the right lesson planning pages for the way you plan to set you up for success.

When I began homeschooling, there was not anything available for me to create my own planner.

Over 200 Beautiful and Free Homeschool Planning Pages (Some Editable)

Because I had unique circumstances each year, I created the free 7 Step Homeschool Planner.

I take you Step by Step in preparing your own unique homeschool planner with my free pages.

Along the way, you have the option to pay for upgrades too.

More than 10+ years later, the free forms and customized forms have grown by the hundreds.

Free Homeschool Lesson Planning Pages

Today, I’m sharing what I call my original lesson planning templates.

Too, in this one download, you will receive 3 different types of lesson planning pages.

  1. I have 180 page original lesson planning pages.
  2. I have an editable 2 page spread for the day and week number of the year. Remember to fill in the subjects you need and print exactly what you need to.
  3. And then I have an editable 2 page spread for the Lesson Number and day. Same thing here, fill in what you need then print.

Each year your needs will change and so should your planner.

For example, one year you may be homeschooling one child and have to add your next child.

Or maybe you have a child going into middle or high school.

I have every form you need right here on my site to make your planner unique your dynamic circumstances.

Over 200 Beautiful and Free Homeschool Planning Pages (Some Editable)

However, you will want to know how to best use these planning pages and planner.

As I mentioned, I’ve used many planners and created this one after using many.

6 Features of the Free 7 Step Homeschool Planner

For example, look at these features that set apart my planner and lesson planning forms.

  1. It is a DAILY planner. There is NOT enough room for me to journal what we did on a weekly lesson planning page.
  2. The pages are NOT DATED. Why? The VERY first thing a planner can make you feel is behind when you miss a day. YOU fill in as you school. This makes homeschool adjust to life as it should.
  3. It is a 2-page spread. The other pet peeve I have besides not having enough room to write, is not having enough space to put other subjects or topics we learn about. Having the 2-page spread to write across gives me plenty of room to look at each day.
  4. it’s coil bound. NO 3 ring binders to hurt your wrist when writing AND the most important reason is to NOT keep adding forms. Organization is about creating a simple system and using it, not constantly recreate a perfect page. One of the best things is that it lays flat.
  5. You print at home using the double-sided feature. To keep the lesson planner thinner, just use regular paper and use it on both sides. My pages are all created for a two page spread. Then all you need to take it to Office Depot or other office place is to coil bind. That is unless you have a coil bind machine at home.
  6. Lastly, the two page spread leaves enough room for multiple ages. You can divide the page however you want to get all of your children (yes even large families) on one two page spread.

How to Make A Homeschool High School Transcript & Middle School (Free Editable Form)

| 5 Comments
This post may contain affiliate links. For more information, please see my full disclosure policy.

After homeschooling 20+ years, I’m sharing how to make a homeschool transcript. You’ll love the other forms I have on my homeschool planner and how to homeschool high school and homeschool middle school page.

Besides, it’s been a while since I’ve updated my original transcript.

In addition, this unique form I’ve updated today can be used beginning in middle school.

How to Make A Homeschool High School Transcript & Middle School (Free Editable Form)

Also, my homeschool high school transcript was created with much flexibility.

You can use this editable transcript for many different reasons.

  • If you want to track some courses starting in middle school.
  • Or you have a special needs child and want to take a bit longer time or need more flexibility with subjects.
  • Too, if your teen wants to graduate earlier, this form gives you much flexibility.
  • And if you want to follow a 4-year traditional high school course this form is perfect and finally
  • You may lean toward the unschool-ish side and want to track subjects instead of years or grades this form fits that need too.

As you can see it’s a unique form.

Homeschool High School Transcript

So, when I got his question from Carol, I was excited.

Hi, had a quick question do you know of any place we as homeschool parent can purchase,blank transcripts with a guide to teach you how to  prepare them? Getting overwhelmed with our son now in high
school.Thanks again, your a God send.

Homeschool High School Transcripts @ Tinas Dynamic Homeschool Plus

Sharing a few general tips to help you through the high school years and some specific tips for the transcript,

General High School Transcript Tips

  1. Decide a grading scale and stick with it when you do decide. Here at my Step 5a. Choose Unique Forms JUST for You, look at option 10 on that page where I give you a couple of options for grading scales.
  2. About credits. Know that a very basic rule of thumb and easier to remember without all the educationalese is that one high school textbook or course equals to about 1 credit. Look here at Homeschool High School–How to Log Hours for High School for more tips. And if you’re tracking by hours another rule of thumb is that 1 credit equals about 120 hours.
  3. And finally, you don’t produce a transcript immediately upon entering high school or even in 10th grade. I changed from how I thought I wanted it set up in 9th grade until his senior year. You have time to mull over what is needed for your child’s particular direction if he is in any grade other than a senior this year.
  4. A high school transcript is a 1-page document. When and if a college asks for more, then second page which is a comprehensive course description. Your 1-page document should be clean, simple, and well articulated, not a diary of your whole homeschool journey.
  5. Course Descriptions. You do not put course descriptions on the transcript. You put descriptions on a second page so they’re noted and you have them if asked by a college. Just put the name of the course.
  6. One more thing I need to mention is plan for the 3 Rs in high school like you have all the other grades. Depending on what your child is doing will determine which one you may spend more time in. Each year cover 1 English, 1 Science, 1 Math and 1 History.
How to Make A Homeschool High School Transcript & Middle School (Free Editable Form)

As I mentioned earlier, key to filling it out is charting your courses or subjects in middle and/or high school and then filling out the transcript, not the other way around.

What I’m saying is 1) Plan the courses 2) Change the courses as needed, 3) Redo courses 4) and LASTLY prepare the transcript.
You track most all work and courses by planning pages. My form is so flexible that is you want to use it for planning and tracking you can too.

Basics of High School Transcripts

Transcripts, like birth certificates are official documents and that means they need to look somewhat uniformed although we have unique journeys.

Use the forms below for planning while you look over the high school transcript.

High School Planning CP @ Tina's Dynamic Homeschool Plus
Planning 1-Required Courses for Graduation CP @ Tina's Dynamic Homeschool Plus

I have had them for years before I produced my transcript because that is the part of the phase that takes longer.

Charting a course for 4 years or longer is not easy, but then again it too doesn’t have to be done all at once either.

You can find those forms on Step 5a. Choose Unique Forms JUST for You.

Transcript Tina's Dynamic Homeschol Plus

My first transcript is above, and I left it here so you can see how things change.

And my newest high school transcript template has these features in each section. Look below as I explain each section.

How to Fill out the TOP SECTION of the High School Transcript Personal Basic Information

  • full student name
  • student address
  • date of birth and sex
  • phone number
  • email
  • parent/guardian name
  • school name
  • school address
  • phone number
  • email
  • date of graduation
  • signature of principal or administrator

How to Fill Out the Middle Part – Courses/Subjects of the High School Transcript

This section is where this template is different than most and that is you can use it just for high school or for middle, unschooling or modify for a child with special needs.

For example, look at sample 1 below.

  • This first sample is using my editable form for a traditional 4-year high school experience.
  • Note you can just put the grade level or
  • You can add a school year to it 202? – 202? after each grade if you want more specificity.
  • Under each grade level you would add the courses, the grade and the credit earned.
  • Too, there are 6 areas so you can separate the electives or specify other individual courses.
How to Make A Homeschool High School Transcript & Middle School (Free Editable Form)

Furthermore, look at this sample 2.

  • Instead of tracking by grades, list by subjects or courses which can be good if you begin in middle school or have a special needs child. Use the main box for Subjects or Courses and not grade level.
  • Under each subject there are 6 lines to list courses. That is an additional 2 lines for courses instead of the traditional 4.
  • Also, another way to track is by combining courses AND the school year. This works best for a child that has a leaning toward one area or discipline over another. For example, if your child is science minded, he may take more courses in Math and Science. You can reflect that on this form.
  • Use ** asterisks to denote something unique about a course and then add to the key at the bottom of the transcript.
How to Make A Homeschool High School Transcript & Middle School (Free Editable Form)

Lastly look at the bottom section of the transcript where you can note important details.

You have flexibility to add any notes or circumstances unique to your situation.

How to Fill Out Last Part – Grades/Making it Official/Noting Honors, Dual Enrollment, Etc.

How to Make A Homeschool High School Transcript & Middle School (Free Editable Form)

Below I have explained each section and have even given you some wording for each section if you need it.

  1. Grading Scale. Add the grading scale you’ve chosen to use through your journey.
  2. Academic Summary. If you need to add test scores add them here. Too, if you need to distinguish between weighted and non-weighted grades or GPA. And to keep it simple, weighted means there was an overall grade for subjects. For example, honor and AP courses are normally weighted. Unweighted means course difficulty was considered. Also, you will notice that Total Credits Earned are put here and NOT tracked by courses or grade. If you want to track credits, be sure to use the planning pages I have.
  3. Notes: There is plenty of room to explain either dual enrollment, honors courses or modifications because of special needs. For example for special needs add : Modifications for special needs was given for the American History Remedial Course. For Dual Enrollment: Dual Enrollment courses were taken by Lone Star Community College. For Honors Courses. Please note this area is subjective meaning no two schools even agree. So explain with detail how you determined this course as hnors. For example, Honor courses were determined by a faster pace, more in depth study, and special projects.
  4. Sign, date it, and make official. You’ve got this.

You’ll love this free editable movie lesson plan template for your printable Homeschool Planner.

Too, movies have a way of teaching a subject which may be hard to teach.

And creating lesson plans from a movie gives your learner another way of taking in information.

Creative Free Editable Movie Lesson Plan Template for Homeschooling

Not all movies need to be reduced to lesson plans.

However, I’ve found using movies as an introduction to a unit study or to teach a sensitive subject helped learning stick.

Also, look below at how to use the lesson planning template.

How to Use the Editable Movie Lesson Plan Template

First, the printable is editable.

Editable means there are preset forms which you can type in.

In addition, you may be teaching more than one grade level, so check as many grade levels as you’re teaching.

At the beginning of the document is a place for your lesson title and name of the movie.

Additionally, it’s important to understand what is the big picture or major points you want your child to learn from the movie.

So, the space at the top is so that you can explain what is the big picture or major points.

Creative Free Editable Movie Lesson Plan Template for Homeschooling

Next, because learning is not separated, check all the subjects which apply for the movie or the lesson plan.

Finally, at the bottom is an area for description of tasks or lesson plans, resources and materials and other notes.

Moreover, below I have some movie resources to help you teach.

The 2023 new year homeschool goals printable is ready. You’ll love the other forms I have for my free homeschool planner.

This new year goal printable is one I love especially because it reminds me to keep goal setting simple.

And to not fill in so many goals that I can’t reach them.

One of the best parts I like about the form is to remind myself to have Less of This.

2023 New Year Homeschool Goals Printable (Get it Together Girl)

It’s important to remind myself that some things I need to let go.

I don’t want to have pie in the sky goals, but to be reminded to homeschool and live simply.

Besides, the new physical year is a half-way point if you’re following an academic year.

And a half-way point is a good reminder.

Homeschool Goals

Also, goal setting means doing LESS OF THIS.

I’ve learned doing more means that I have to let go of something.

Different things can weigh me down. I mentioned being too critical of myself is one thing that holds me back.

Letting go each year or at least reminding myself to let go each year, I can start with a fresh slate.

Maybe this next year you need to do more of something which is productive.

Just remember that being productive means doing less of something. It means making room for it.

What are you going to be doing LESS OF this next year?

Grab the form below. It’s easy to fill out because it requires few words! Keep goal setting simple.
