Student Led Conferences
Friday March 10
(No school for children on this day)
 
In order for your son/daughter to gain the best from their conferences scheduled for
Friday March 10, it is important that you understand the format we use at OIS for Student Led Conferences.
 
Student Led Conferencing:                                                                                              
Student Led Conferences involve the student and their parents. Students showcase their learning and understanding with their parents.
 
Students are responsible for reflecting upon work samples they have chosen to share, that have been selected with guidance and support from the teacher.
 
All of the participants must understand the format and their roles prior to the conference. The format may differ depending on the age of the child.
 
The role of the Student is to be on time, stick to talking about the prepared work and to speak clearly.
The Parent’s role is to be on time for the conference, be positive, concerned and interested, to ask questions and to listen.
The role of the Teacher is to manage and facilitate the conference.
 
Your home room teacher will have posted on your class blog their organisation for the day.
 
As always the staff are available to talk through any queries you may have regarding the progress and development of your children and I would ask, that should you wish to develop any issues you may have, that you contact the office to make an appointment with the class teacher, rather than raise these in front of the children at their conference.
 
Thank you for your continued cooperation and support.
 
Tony Batchelor
Head of Primary
