Room 18 Goal Setting Conferences 2014

Dear Parents/ Caregivers,

 

Thank you for making an appointment for a goal setting conference.

Other students may be running conferences while you are here. Please just find a space in the classroom for your own conference.

Your day is:       

Your time is:


If you cannot make this time, please come at any time between 2 pm and 5.45 pm  on Tuesday and between 3.15 pm and 6.00 pm on Thursday.

Your child will lead the conference. I will be available for discussion if required, however, the aim of the conference is that most of the discussion will be between you and your child.

If you have particular concerns, please make a time to meet with me privately.

The aims of these conferences are:

 To highlight strengths

• To identify areas to develop
• To set student goals for continued learning

Students will show you their Learning Journals and books..

At Maeroa we aim to support the students in taking increasing responsibility for their learning. This includes identifying skills which need development and setting clear goals. Each goal also needs a step by step plan of how to achieve it.

Please take time to look closely at your child’s learning.  Ask questions about:

• The purpose of the task.
• What they did well.
• What they need to work on.
• What SPECIFIC goals will help.
• How to meet those goals.

Technology and Arts teachers will also be available. Please feel free to visit them in their rooms or the library and see what your child has been doing.

I look forward to seeing you.

Yours sincerely,

Diana Bird

Class teacher
