Do you cringe at the thought of writing report cards?
Do you try and tackle other household tasks instead of buckling down and
writing those lovely report cards?
Do you forewarn your family members in advance by telling them that you will be out of
commission, as their caregiver, for the next few hours days?
Do you worry that your comments might contain spelling or grammar mistakes?
Well, put those fears and excuses aside.
I have some great news for you!
Sidney from Teaching is a Gift recommended that I give Student Evaluator a try.
OH MY WORD! Am I glad that I did!
This website is just ah-maz-ing!
Not only is it a user friendly website, but it also instantly creates these
wonderfully worded, personalized,
comments for your Learning Skills within minutes. Yes, .... within minutes!
Now, I must let you know that there is a teeny-tiny cost to being able to use
this website, but it is totally well worth it.
Your sanity and your time are much more valuable!
Once I was signed in,
I was asked to enter in my student's name.
Then, I was provided with a list of Learning Skills.
All I had to do was click on the skills that described that particular student.
Then, once you click on Generate Report,
you get this lovely personalized comment.
The best part is that there are no grammar, punctuation, or spelling mistakes.
It's a perfect comment.
If you do not like the comment that has been generated for you,
no worries!
Just simply click on regenerate and it will give you another perfect comment.
Furthermore, you can add or delete sentences or words to make it even more unique!
The website also provides you with the different Learning Skills posters.
You can easily print, laminate, and post these posters around your classroom.
What a great way to remind students of the tasks that you will be reporting on.
Student Evaluator is perfect! So perfect that, after my first submission,
my administrator did not require me to make any further changes or corrections.
Which meant that I did not have to spend MY valuable
time on further corrections or touch-ups.
My reports were simply DONE, the first time around!
I definitely recommend Student Evaluator!
It reduces your stress level!
It gives you your life back!
It makes report card writing fun; not a chore!
I cannot wait for the next round of report card writing!
Bring it on....!
What do you think....
will you give Student Evaluator a try?
note: This website is geared towards Canadian teachers,
but I'm sure that it can be utilized and tweaked by all teachers!
