Although Parent Student Teacher Conferences will occur virtually and look quite different from the pictures below from last year, they continue to be an essential part of our updated Communicating Student Learning beliefs found in our ES Parent/Student Handbook (page 61):
At ISB we believe that Communicating Student Learning empowers each student to understand, reflect on, and take ownership of their learning process as well as fosters the partnership between parents, students and teachers.
We define Communicating Student Learning as:
- Visibly documented evidence of learning growth over time for each child – knowledge, skills, attitudes and understandings.
- Guided by clearly communicated goals, expectations, feedback and reflection.
- Communicates student achievement in relation to grade level expectations at a given time.
- Transparency of ISB program and learning outcomes for stakeholders.
Conferences are one important part of our system of communicating student learning and are designed to celebrate student strengths and learning growth as well as identify goals and next steps. Thank you goes out to all our parents for actively partnering with us via the Parent Student Teacher Conferences on Thursday or Friday!
