  1. Well hey there! Do you keep on-going anecdotal records? Have a ton of portfolios to add feedback to? Or perhaps it’s report card time. When you have to come up with writing constructive and meaningful comments, in unique and creative ways, for every child in your class (or classes! Eek!) it can seem like a mammoth task! I know! Well, stress no more! The following list of positive comments is aligned with the language of the IB PYP and will help you to customise your comments for each child and highlight their strengths or need for improvements. Please do manipulate the comments to suit your needs and the feedback given. Feedback for students may look different from feedback for parents. And feedback BY students FOR students, will look different also. Yes, I have used this list as a tool for inclusive assessment with my class. I have organised the comments by the Approaches to Learning Skills and The Learner Profile. All the best with your assessment practices!
