Agenda

1. Prepare for conferences next week. Please return portfolio Monday.
Students - Consider the following questions:
  • What are the most important things you are learning this year?
  • If there is one thing you could change about this term what would it be?
  • What is something you are really good at?
  • What is something you would like to get better at?
  • What have you worked really hard at? (doesn't need to be "academic", consider competencies as well)
  • How are you getting along with other students in the class? (Is there anything that needs to be discussed?)
  • Are there any other concerns you have?
  • How can I and/or your parents help you?
  • What are your major learning goals you hope to accomplish this year?

Conference Agenda (20 minutes):
  • Once in the classroom, you will introduce parent(s)/guardian(s)
  • You will discuss the assignment you selected on "Our Proudest Moments" bulletin board. Explain why this was chosen, etc.
  • We will sit at the round table together, show your parents where they will sit.
  • We will discuss the portfolio reflection sheet you completed and any other questions you've considered.
  • Report Card/Set Goals - Now we will go over the report card (Competencies, self-assessment, Literacy and Numeracy). You will be asked to share your goals at this point (form the reflection sheet) which will be written onto the last page of the report card.
  • We will all sign the report card. I will keep it to copy and send it home at a later date for you to keep.
  • Thank your parents for coming to the conference.
  • You did it! Congratulations!
