Prep students will be holding their first student-led conferences on April 4th, 2008. There will be scheduled 20 minute appointments for each student and students will prepare their own invitations and conduct the meetings themselves.
This is a very important opportunity for students to show their strengh and acknowledge their weaknesses. These conferences will give an opportunity for children to reflect upon their successes during the year. It is also an opportunity to open up and improve communication between parents and their children about their children's education. The teachers will only be observers, not active participants.
The goals of Student-led Conferences :
1. To encourage students to accept responsibility for their learning.
2. To teach students to evaluate their academic performance.
3. To engage the parents, the students, and the teachers in honest dialogue.
4. To increase parent participation at conference time.
We strongly encourage the parents to be a positive part of this conferencing process and make an effort to attend as this is vital for your child's education.
