8/8: Mentor Report Comments

Mentor Report Comments

8th August 2016

When the time came to writing Mentor Comments King's provided plenty of help. Below are links to attached documents:

King's College Writing School Reports (2016) - Mentor Help Guide: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B8SyJqn0M1mhYkpieWRYTjVuQkE

Gina's examples of past Mentor Comments: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B8SyJqn0M1mheHk2b1FGbmhER00

After looking at the exemplars I decided to create a plan of attack, as to how I was going to structure each of my mentor comments.
My plan of attack:
-a comment about what they are like in mentor
-an overview of their subjects; what is going well, room for improvement, common themes
-comment about an interest
-a note about looking forward to setting goals in upcoming weeks through Mentor Period

To ensure I could follow this plan of attack I made sure to print off the girls reports so that I was able to look at their grades for both Term 1 & 2, teacher comments and any extra curricular involvement. When reading through their report comments I would then highlight common themes and check that grades were improving. Below are some photos as examples:

As mentioned by Gina in the email below, my mentor comments showed that I knew the girls well. I also believe that I have formed a good relationship with them as they feel able to come to me for advice for both learning needs and extra curricular activities. This helps to demonstrate the relationship we have built which focusses on both their learning and wellbeing (PTC1 & 2). By spending the time to thoroughly go through each of their reports and actively seeking help and feedback to help with my report writing I am able to relate to PTC4.
