Teachers use descriptive reporting to provide information about students’ engagement and achievement, about what they have learnt, what they need to learn next, and how the teacher, student and parent/ carer can support these next steps to happen. This is done through descriptive information supporting A-E grades or word equivalents in the written reports and also through the range of oral reporting which occurs between schools and parents/ carers/ guardians, including three-way conferences, phone and other digital contact and other meetings with families and students.
