Report Writing

Deadline looming for a set of sixth form reports, I had a look at other staff members to see the sorts of comments that they used - here's the bank for later referral!

Positive

  • pleasure to teach
  • mature work ethic
  • listens carefully to explanations
  • asks thoughtful clarifying questions
  • participates actively in class discussion
  • has found the work a real challenge, but has remained positive and sought help when needed
  • promising start
  • quiet, yet studious
  • keen to do well
  • to his/her credit
Areas for Improvement
  • little chatty in class
  • appears to have gaps in his/her knowledge
  • just too few questions being done
  • struggles to transfer knowledge to a new problem
Targets
  • revisit this topic throughout the year to help secure understanding
  • make sure doing work independently when asked
  • hope they are up for the challenge
  • visit help sessions
  • practice is the key to doing well
  • like to see a slightly more focussed approach
  • get through enough questions to consolidate understanding fully

And as the author of Authentic Inquiry did (here), I've made a wordle...
Pleased to see "questions" and "help" rather large, but "test" is far too prominent for my liking. Something to think about for next time!
