All students are required to participate in parent/teacher/student meetings. The teachers have been working with students in class on their goals for literacy and numeracy. The meetings will promote conversations between the student, their parents and their teacher, allowing students to demonstrate their individual growth and any particular achievements that they are proud of.
The meeting structure will follow a simple format. The teacher will talk for 5 minutes, students for 5 minutes and parents for 5 minutes.
The benefits of including students in these meetings are:
- Students are supported to take responsibility for their own learning
- Monitor and share their progress through self and teacher feedback
- Evaluate their progress through teacher directed assessment and self evaluation
- Gives students a chance to show parents direct improvement in their own learning
- Allows parents, students and teachers to celebrate student success together
- Gives students a chance to develop and use real world skills:
*Self-reflection and evaluation
*Organisation and communication
*Self-confidence
