Progress reports play a pivotal role in offering comprehensive feedback on student progress and development. While the specifics of reporting may vary between schools and regions, certain fundamental principles in report creation remain universal:
- Reflection of the school’s learning philosophies: Reports should mirror the unique learning philosophies of the school.
- Personalization for each student: Each report should be tailored to suit the individual needs and progress of every student.
- Evidence-based approach: Reports should be grounded in concrete evidence of student performance and growth.
- Actionability: Reports should offer actionable insights to support further learning and development.
