Your child’s very first SLC will take place in the fortnight commencing Monday 27th January.
Student-led conferences put students in charge of sharing information about their progress with their families. Students learn to advocate for themselves; they reflect upon and provide evidence for their progress. The structure builds students’ sense of responsibility and accountability for their own learning, and it helps to hone their understanding of what it means to meet learning targets.
The first set of student led conferences are tightly structured to help students to develop their confidence in discussing their progress. At this first conference, your child will share assessment information with you, and of course there will be an opportunity for you to ask questions.
Student-led conferences also greatly enhance family engagement. The conference structure builds family members’ interest and understanding in what has been happening in the classroom. As such, relationships among students, family members and staff are strengthened.
Your child’s crew leader will email you a link to sign up for a 30-minute slot in the coming days if they have not already done so. Please look out for this email. We look forward to seeing you in school.
