Excellent 1st Night of Fall Student-Led Parent-Teacher Conferences

Successful Night #1 of Fall Student-Led Parent-Teacher Conferences

On Wednesday, October 28, NMS parents and students with the help of their teachers engaged in Student-Led Conferencing (SLC) during our first evening of our Fall Parent-Teacher Conferences.

Students in all grades partook in explaining to their parents how they were progressing with the standards. 

They would show their parents their work examples and talk them through where they might have been in the beginning of the school year, how they have improved so far, and what they still need to do to improve.

Students were impressed with themselves.

Parents were impressed with their children.  Many, many parents appreciated the format that we have been piloting for over two years now with their children talking their parents through their learning and not just having to stand in line to have the teacher talk about their child for only a couple of minutes.  They like the timing and what they get out of the evening.

And our teachers loved to be able to show off how impressive our students are with their learning.

All the while all the learning and explaining were going on, our NMS PTA held down the hallways with raffles and Tiger swag and our Book Fair rocked in the Media Center.

Next Thursday, November 5, is our second night of conferences from 4 to 6:30 PM; we hope to see everyone else here for this spectacular night of learning.

Thank you.

Here are some pictures from the evening.
