Progress report
One page per course, per period. Written for somebody who was not in the room — which, in a year or two, includes you.
Student
Period
Course / subject
Prepared by
Date
Material covered
Units, chapters or topics — named specifically enough that somebody could find them.
Current strengths
Skills still in progress
“In progress” rather than “weak.” The distinction matters when a teenager reads their own file, and it is also more accurate.
Assessment evidence
What you are basing this on: quizzes, unit tests, corrected work, an oral explanation, a project. List the things that exist and where they are filed.
Attendance or instructional days, if you use them
Grade for the period, and the method
Parent or teacher note
Next period
What comes next, what will be repaired first, and what changes about how you teach it.
Write the strengths first. Not for morale — for accuracy. If you start with the gaps you will describe a struggling student, and by the third report you will believe it. Most children who are behind in one area are secure in four others, and a report that shows only the gap is not a fuller picture, it is a narrower one.
