Prepping for Conferences
A newsletter is a great way to collect & communicate information about students. This example of a student update has blocks for all of the basics, as well as some helpful resources as you prepare for conferences.
A text block at the top of the template -- like this -- is a good way to share an overview of your class. An inspiring quote goes a long way and communicates your values as a teacher.
Marco is responsible about completing classwork and homework. He is very interested in math and science, and enjoys working through the problems and procedures in those classes.
He finds our Humanities work less interesting, and sometimes he needs to be called back to attention. I think the right topic will help him catch fire!
In sharing improvement goals for students, think about the SMART framework. Goals should be: Specific, Measurable, Actionable, Realistic, Timely.
A goal I would like to challenge Marco to achieve in the upcoming quarter is to read one book independently from start to finish.
- He should choose a book during our weekly Library class,
- Keep it in his desk for our daily independent reading,
- Complete his weekly book updates each Friday
- Conference with me about it whenever he feels stuck until he has finished the book.
