Created Tips-Writing Effective Report Card Comments on
Behavior |
| Guidelines |
| 1. Accuracy is of prime
importance in record keeping. |
| 2. Never share a student's
grades with anyone other than the
administration, guidance, student and
parents. |
| 3. Review their grades
frequently. |
| 4. If a student questions a
grade, require him or her to give evidence
that an error was made. (I required my
students keep a copy of all graded papers,
tests and reports) |
| 5. From the first day of class
explain how the grades are calculated and
kept. |
| 6. Utilize the
school website, email, blog,
twitter, fax, telephone and the US
mail to update the parents on a
student's progress. Never give the
parent the option of claiming they
did not know that the student was
failing. If possible keep a hard
copy of the grades incase of computer
crashes. |
| 8. A grade
book is a legal document and must be
reviewed, updated, maintained and
stored for future references. |
| 7. Be prepared
to defend the grades to the parents,
guidance, administration and in some
cases a court. |
A record keeping device, either a paper book or electronic
device, in which a teacher records his or her students grades for
the semester. It is a legal document and can be used in a court of
law and any parent, teacher and administrative hearing.
