How to write a “brag sheet” that secures a phenomenal letter of recommendation.

The Trap: Generic Praise

Most students write about broad things they liked in class, which leads to a boring, template-style recommendation letter. Avoid these two common pitfalls:

The Overly Generic: Saying things like, “I liked how he explained things."

The Intentional Fun: Pointing out a highly engaging activity or game that the teacher specifically designed to be fun for everyone.

The Secret: Teacher Psychology

Good teachers make roughly 500 tiny, behind-the-scenes decisions just to make a single lesson work. It is exhausting, and teachers frequently wonder if their students even notice or care about that effort.

To make your brag sheet stand out, you need to tap into this psychology.

What to Write Instead

Instead of praising the obvious, highlight a specific, small instructional choice the teacher made that genuinely helped you learn.

Look for the micro-details: Mention a specific way they structured a review, a precise piece of feedback they gave, or a small adjustments they made to a lesson.

Validate their effort: Remind them of a small action they might have already forgotten, but which made a major impact on your understanding.

Why This Works: Pointing out these micro-decisions validates the teacher's hard work and reminds them exactly why they love teaching. An energized teacher who feels deeply appreciated is going to write a much more powerful, personal, and glowing letter of recommendation for you.
