After much preparation and hard work from both the students and myself this evening was my first experience participating in Student Led Conferences. These are a meeting run by the student for his or her parents, entirely focused on the student's recent learning. During the conference the student presents work in different curriculum areas, discussing the process of learning and the progress made to date.
All of my students did such a wonderful job presenting to their parents and were all confident to speak about the many learning engagements that they have participated in so far this year. This was a fantastic opportunity for me to share positive experiences with the parents of my students and to hand over each students Mid Term Report.
It was also a great way for me to gain further insight into my students and the family dynamics that they are a part of. It was very interesting to hear the parents different views and responses, this helped me to understand how some of my students have become the young people that they are.
I am so glad to have had the privilege to share this experience with my students and after hearing about all of our wonderful learning from their perspective I am looking forward to getting back into the classroom and continuing our exciting learning journey.
