1st Night of Our Fall Parent-Teacher Student-Led Conferences a Success

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

On Thursday, October 27, NMS parents and students with the help of their teachers engaged in Student-Led Conferencing (SLC) as well as Parent-Teacher Conferences 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 and with their own personal work towards mastering standards. 

Students 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.

It was awesome to see how much our students were impressed with themselves.

Parents were also 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.  Parents like the timing and what they were able to get out of the evening in terms of hearing their child explain their own learning.

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 Tiger swag, Mr. Branagan was on the 8th Grade Floor to help parents through the HS Transition, and our Fall Book Fair rocked in the Media Center.

This Wednesday, November 3, 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.
