Start early

Create a checklist
Develop a checklist or template that includes all the necessary sections and components of your report cards. This will help you stay focused and ensure that you cover all the required information for each student.
Utilise comment formulas
Our guide provides you with general comment and academic comment formulas that can be customised to fit each student. These formulas serve as a starting point and help you structure your comments effectively, plus they make comment writing a lot easier!
Personalise comments
While formulas can be a great starting point, personalising your comments for each student adds a thoughtful touch. Use the provided examples as inspiration and tailor them to reflect each student’s unique strengths, areas for improvement, and achievements.
Seek feedback and collaboration
Engage with fellow teachers or mentors to seek feedback on your comments. Collaborating with colleagues can provide valuable insights and suggestions for improvement. They say the best professional development is the teacher down the hall, and that can be applied to writing reports also.
Take care of yourself
Writing reports can be mentally and emotionally draining. Remember to take breaks, practice self-care, and maintain a healthy work-life balance during the report writing season and reward yourself once you are done!
