Educational research tells us that the more we can articulate and explain our learning, the more we will be able to learn and the better the progress made.
Your child will run the conference with your help.
This is not a teacher interview sharing results.
Teachers will be roving about to give support if needed.
These Student-Led Conferences are about your child sharing their learning journey.
Learning Conferences will happen at the same time for a group of children but in different places in the Learning Hub.
If needed, you are welcome to make an appointment to meet with your child’s teachers at any time.
How You Can Support Your Child
Before the conference:
• Ensure all parties who wish to be involved in the conference are informed as your child is only expected to run one conference.
• Acknowledge the invitation to attend the conference, and then book a time for it.
• Read through the prompts in this handout.
During the conference:
• Arrive with your child, bringing this information sheet with you if you wish. His or her teacher will be in the classroom to greet you.
• Listen to your child – they are going to lead you through their conference and do most of the talking
You should:
• Prompt to support your child if necessary (using prompts below and around the room, where applicable).
• Enjoy having this opportunity to be part of your child’s learning and seeing their learning environment.
• Celebrate all achievements with your child.
Following the conference:
• Continue to celebrate all achievement and successes
• Support your child’s learning by following up on how you can help him/her at home
• Ask your child about their current learning goals and how they are progressing towards achieving them
