Student Narrative Reports

During the last week of Brown Summer High School (BSHS), I wrote narrative reports for my students, and here you will find some examples. All students received narrative reports for each class they took with a course description, along with instructor comments. BSHS does not assign letter grades, but these narrative reports provided a fuller picture of students’ classroom experience. I appreciate the use of narrative reports because it allows me to assess students holistically in a more nuanced way. I was intentional about reflecting on each student’s work and experience in a detailed and positive manner. Since some students enrolled in BSHS to fulfill a credit requirement, the information I provided would potentially help students, teachers, and administrators evaluate and learn from each student’s participation and performance. When writing these evaluations, I left specific comments about students’ participation, including small group work, full class share-outs, and facilitated discussions; I also left comments referencing students' final personal narratives. Each report was personally tailored to show the pride I felt in each student’s growth.
