Reporting

Appropriate comments should include: 

• a focus on what students have learned     

• describe significant strengths 

• identify next steps that should be connected to the learning goal and be meaningful, clear, and attainable.

Considerations for ELL’s:

1. What are the curriculum expectations that the student is working towards?

2.  What STEP descriptors can be added to documents to accurately document language learning? 

The comments should be personalized for the students expectations and language proficiency and connected to a learning goal. 

*English language learners are acquiring English therefore, it is not appropriate to state this as a next step.
