Key Notes for Basic Educators and Managers

• Basic Educators focus on subject-specific feedback. Ensure your comment addresses the student’s strengths or areas of improvement within the subject you teach.
• Managers provide broader feedback that reflects the overall performance, attitude, and behavior of the student.

By carefully selecting your role in the Comment As field, you ensure the feedback is appropriate, accurate, and relevant to your responsibilities.
