How Parents Can Read Teacher Comments and Feedback on Assignments
The most valuable part of any graded assignment is not the mark, but the teacher's qualitative comments explaining how to improve. Digital reports make feedback accessible.
Handwritten teacher remarks are easily missed or forgotten
Paper homework sheets with valuable teacher comments often get shoved into messy backpacks, preventing parents from seeing guidance on how their child can improve.
Review qualitative teacher feedback digitally
Navigate to the Assessment Results tab on your parent dashboard.
Open any graded assignment to view your child's original submitted work.
Read the teacher's itemized comments, rubrics, and conceptual suggestions.
Discuss the feedback collaboratively to ensure your child applies it to future tasks.
Put it into practice
Example: Reading English essay feedback
A teacher notes on a Grade 9 essay: 'Strong vocabulary, but paragraph 3 lacks supporting textual evidence.' The parent guides the student to cite quotes in the next essay.
Worth checking first
- Encourage your child to read teacher comments before looking at the grade mark.
- Help your child create a personal checklist of recurring teacher feedback points.
