Tech Tip 17: Get AI to help with drafting your Report Comments

Do you want some help with the tedious process of report card comment writing?  Of course you do,  who doesn’t.

This tip is a step-by-step process, including sample prompts, that you can follow to get POE to help with this.

  • Open POE. (Go here if you still haven’t setup POE)
  • Click Explore (top left), then choose either Claude-instant or ChatGPT
  • Copy and paste each of these prompts one at a time, modifying to suit your purposes.
    • My students have been studying the area of [insert Topic], assessed against the International Baccalaureate [PYP/MYP/DP (select one)] [insert Subject Area] Criteria. Are you familiar with this Assessment Criteria?
    • Please give me [insert Quantity] possible positive comments aligned with this Assessment Criteria consistent with a student achievement level of [insert achievement level 1-7] , written from a 3rd person perspective without including any student names.
    • Please give me [insert Quantity] possible comments for ways that students could improve consistent with a student achievement level of [insert achievement level 1-7] , aligned with this Assessment Criteria written from a 3rd person perspective without including any student names.
  • Note: In the first prompt, the more specific you are with your topic, the better the AI generated comments will generally be.

This will give you a bank of possible comments that you can mix and match that are appropriate to your particular needs, ready for tailoring to specific students.  Remember to modify the prompts to suit your class and students, but this will give you a starting point.  Let me know if you need any help with this.
