Let’s be straight about what this is, because the internet is full of tools promising to write your report cards. Compass generates report card comment starters you tune in your voice, built from your real curriculum coverage, and it’s designed to work without ever being introduced to your students. That’s not a bug. That’s the design.
All term, Compass tracked what you taught: the curriculum items you covered in the reporting range you choose. At reporting time, that record, and only that record, becomes editable comment starters, written at four proficiency levels so you can match each one to where a student actually landed.
1
Track as you teach. No separate logging step to forget, marking a plan taught is the whole of it.
2
Pick a class and a range. The curriculum you covered in that window becomes the source, nothing else.
3
Generate four levels. Beginning, Developing, Meeting, and Extending, in your curriculum’s own outcome language.
4
Add what only you can. The child. You make each starter true for the student in front of you.
There are no student name fields, no profiles, no place to put information about a single child. The starters describe the learning; you make them true for each student.
The line we hold
Why we don’t do personalized AI comments
Tools that write personalized student comments need student data to do it. We think that trade is wrong, so Compass is built without it: no student name fields, no profiles, no place for information about a single child. AI-supported summaries are starting points. Teachers review, edit, and decide what to share. The starter carries the curriculum load; the teacher carries the truth about the student. Every parent reading a report card deserves that division of labour.
In your voice
In your voice, not robot-teacher voice
Comment starters come with tone and style settings, so you set the register that sounds like you instead of sanding robotic phrasing at midnight. Choose it once, and the starters arrive in your voice, ready for you to make each one true for the student in front of you.
It generates comment starters from your curriculum coverage, in your voice. You personalize them for each student, because you know them and Compass doesn’t.
Personalized AI comments require feeding student information to an AI. We’ve chosen not to build that, and Compass is designed so it can’t happen by accident either. No student data is the line.
Starters build from your provincial curriculum’s own outcome language, and coverage summaries can run by reporting range.
