About teaching, learning, reflecting and being a 21st century learner & teacher … Life is not a race to be first finished. Mrs Parrington Loves Science | A blog for Primary School aged children who love science too. Differentiating Instruction. Using Portfolios for Student Led Conferences. | Evernote as Portfolio. This week my students had their conferences with their parents where they shared examples of work they had been doing during the year and planned goals for the next several months. Given adequate time to prepare and practice how they will present their work the student led conference is a great tool for students to demonstrate what they have been learning and plan their learning for the coming months.
The requirements for this conference were as follows: #1. In the week before the conference students were to sit down with their parents at home and look over a template of the report card and decide what areas they want to work on. . #2. . #3. . #4. . #5. . #6. The conferences themselves last about 30 minutes and are run almost completely by the students. With their goals for the next few months put into Evernote as a new note all parties (student, teacher and parent) have access to the goal and what the student has done to accomplish that goal.

Note: this is the first in a series around my professional learning goal at YIS (more below) At most international schools (and probably most schools in general), each year teachers are asked to create one (or several) goals for the year. In some cases, I’ve had to create three: a personal goal, a team or department goal, and a goal related to a school-wide initiative. Although I always have many ideas for things I want to improve or explore each year, I often find the creation of these types of goals a little artificial. For starters, I pretty much always select a goal I know I will be able to accomplish – something that’s basically part of my job, but maybe a little bit above and beyond. If it’s not something I know I’m going to do anyway, then it often ends up being something practical that I know I should be doing, but can’t always force myself to make time for it. In the end, I always meet my documented goals, and certainly make progress on my own (vaguely formed) individual goals.
