Grade-based Report
“Mrs. ____, your son’s grade in Math is 80. He needs to
study more so that his grade will not decrease.”
Personalized Report
“Mrs. ____, your son is expected to accomplish 7 learning
competencies for the 1st Quarter. Of these competencies, he:
*can do very well LC 1, 2, 3, and 6
*needs to practice more on LC 4, 5, and 7
But on the overall your son can successfully perform all the
mathematical skills for his grade level. With consistent practice,
he will be able to master them even more. ☺” –Teacher Mardy

Much of the input from this material is based on the UNICEF document (see image
and link), particularly on the essentials of the RAPID Learning Recovery Framework.

But all other ideas and insights are mine (Mardy D. Verano, EDUSTUDIO Central),
distilled from my 30+ years of teaching experience. If you have questions or concerns
about the topic discussed you may reach me through email or my contact number.
Wanting to give up? Wait. Let’s always be reminded of the very reason why we chose
teaching as a career in the first place, or why we founded a school. If our intent is
noble, then every struggle is a stone added to the monumental legacy we want to
build. One thing is for sure – every effort done for what’s essentially good for
mankind will never fail. Our struggles are temporary. So, let’s keep going, in spite of...
Take care of yourself more, as you take care of others as well.
See you again in God’s time. <3
