Classroom teachers have a lot on their plate which, among others includes preparation of daily lesson plans, assessing, marking as well as recording and not to mention the most time consuming and mind wrecking; report writing!
Imagine having to create a progress report for 20 or more kids in your class, four times a year? That's a lot of hours! Would it be great if you have a tool that can make report commenting less daunting and takes only a fraction of your usual time preparing it?
Enter the School Report Writer. It's an app or program that helps teachers create reports quicker and easier. It minimises typing, prevents mistakes and works on PC, Ipas or Mac. Other functions include Teachers Report Assistant; automatically replacing student names, his/her, she/he etc, plus new tools such as a 1-click thesaurus, spellcheck, name/pronoun toggle, Oooops! Detective and a powerful list feature. Oh, and did I mention that it's free! (at the time of publishing).
