Student Inclusive Conferencing- December 4th and 5th<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

Teacher have their conference schedules now posted on the Parent Portal.\u00a0 Please ensure that you sign up for a conference time to celebrate your child’s learning.\u00a0 To sign up log onto your Parent Portal account and along the top you will find the pull down menu Student -Led Conferences.
\n\"\"If you are new to Albion, here is some information on our Student Inclusive Conferencing process.\u00a0 This information can aslo be found on the district website under the Parent tab\/Assessment and Reporting<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

What Can You Expect?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Teachers are required to communicate with you on student progress 5 times during the school year.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. One student inclusive conference at the end of Nov or the beginning of Dec.\u00a0 This will be based on a collection of student work.\u00a0 Teachers and students will comment on individual learning in a conference format rather than a formal written report.\u00a0 At the conference, a future learning goal will be determined by the student, parent and teacher.\u00a0 Notes of each conference will be kept on a conferencing summary template and will be kept in the student\u2019s file.\u00a0 Parents will receive a copy of the report from the conference.<\/li>\n
  2. A second student inclusive conference will be completed around Spring Break. This process will be identical to that in the first term.<\/li>\n
  3. A summative written report will be given at the end of the school year that details learning in the third term and summarizes learning through the year. This report will be made available through the parent portal or a paper copy will be sent home with your child.<\/li>\n
  4. Two informal communications will also be done throughout the year. \u00a0These can take many different forms (e.g. sending work samples home for you to review, phone calls, informal or formal meetings,\u00a0shorter progress checklists throughout the year).<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    What to Expect at a K-7 Conference<\/strong><\/h2>\n

    What will the conference look like?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

    How conferences are organized will vary between classrooms and schools across the district however the following commonalities provide a focus for the conference. The conference is student-inclusive which means that the student, the parent(s) and the teacher will all participate in the dialogue. There will be time dedicated to discuss the children\u2019s work \u2013 samples, photos, portfolios and so forth, and to talk about areas of strength and areas of growth. The focus is on the core competencies and all curricular areas taught that term. During the conference, parent(s), child and teacher will develop a goal for future learning and will identify how to support that goal.<\/p>\n
