Ontario Report Card Comments

A plain-language guide to writing comments that name a strength and a next step, in language families understand. Includes worked examples you can adapt.

Report Card Next Steps

The report card asks you to name next steps for improvement. These are examples that give a student something specific to do, instead of telling them to keep up the good work.
