Sample Report Card Comments for Any Teaching Situation
Each progress report and report card provides an opportunity for you to give parents insight into their child’s performance beyond a letter or numerical grade for conduct or academics.

How To Prepare Students For 21st Century Survival
7 Skills Students Will Always Need by Jennifer Rita Nichols Ed note: This post has been updated from a 2013 post. As educators, we constantly strive to prepare our students for the ‘real world’ that exists around them. We teach them how to read, write, and calculate. We want to prepare them to lead productive and successful lives once they leave us and enter into the realm of adulthood. Tony Wagner of Harvard University worked to uncover the 7 survival skills required for the 21st century. We may not know exactly what lies ahead for our students in the future, but we have the advantage of knowing what skills they will need once they get there. Skills #1: Critical Thinking and Problem Solving Preparation: Students will need to develop their skills at seeing problems from different angles and formulating their own solutions. Skill #2: Collaboration Across Networks and Leading by Influence Preparation: Understanding that not every person is born a natural leader.

Teacher mediation of curriculum making: the role of reflexivity: Journal of Curriculum Studies: Vol 0, No 0
This research explores curriculum making by teachers and offers a nuanced way of understanding these practices through the concept of reflexivity. The study draws from a collective case study of teachers in an online focus group, in order to identify and analyse diverse thinking on the curriculum making by teachers from Scotland and Wales. A WordPress® page was set up to generate both synchronous and asynchronous discussions over a period of five weeks to discuss curricular issues. Six teachers from Scotland and three teachers from Wales participated in the discussions.
Discover, Discuss, Demonstrate: Using Inquiry-Based Learning to Keep Students Engaged
As we get further into the second half of the school year, a focus on engagement will be key to refining our practices and increasing impact. Teachers can simplify and help students discover, discuss, and demonstrate to thrive. The 3 Ds is not a new model for learning design, and it aligns with other inquiry-based learning models designed for deeper learning. What is your critical content? Discover Giving learners opportunities to explore content before launching into direct instruction is a highly effective way to promote engagement from the start and encourage student agency. Examples: Empathy interviews that help students connect to someone who can provide insight on experiences related to the content. Tips: Learners can discover asynchronously outside of class or live lessons, which gives them more control over pace. Discuss This phase is about interaction with material and others. Protocols are key for any discussion, whether synchronous or asynchronous. Courtesy of Lainie Rowell

Turning Mistakes Into Learning Opportunities by TeachThought Staff Today, if you asked me about my most memorable learning failures, I will tell you I am glad they happened. My errors have made me a better teacher and learner. It may seem contradictory: to create situations where students will make mistakes purposefully. Frustration can result if no resolution and feedback are given after errors are made. How can we use learning errors to our advantage? 1. Carol Dweck, a psychologist at Stanford studies motivation and found that rather than praising intelligence, educators should focus on encouraging students to think of their mind as flexible and support individual responsibility. Lehrer suggests relying less on praise and allowing time for students to develop skills on their own. “. . . 2. Half the battle is realizing that errors can be used as learning tools. Many teachers steer away from this model because mistakes take away valuable instructional time. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10.
