    Motivation to be truthful in references often comes from either a) knowing the place they are going, or knowing the staff, which means that b) maintaining acadmic integrity is important.



    I would be miffed if course tutor to sent me a reference of a poor performing student saying that they are brilliant, just to get them off their books or because they don't want to tell the truth or write anything negative.


    There are certain key phrases to use that help other educational establishments understand your students. For example, the phrase "would recommend without reservation" at the end is code for: this student is perfect for you and you woudl be foolish not to take them.
