maxilen — 2024-02-11 15:02:23 UTC

Zoom connection is not always the greatest.

bgrizzle — 2024-02-12 08:51:51 UTC

gherbison — 2024-02-12 08:52:18 UTC

All parents sign up

All Zoom conferences could be either in the morning or all in the afternoon.

bgrizzle — 2024-02-12 08:52:26 UTC

good attendance rate 18/20 students

2024-02-12 08:52:43 UTC

ms Amanat - Those who signed up cancelled right before the meeting

2024-02-12 08:52:46 UTC

Every parent that signed up attended!

gherbison — 2024-02-12 08:53:00 UTC

Very positive outcomes from students and parents.

Well-attended. Parents seemed happy.

bgrizzle — 2024-02-12 08:53:06 UTC

2024-02-12 08:53:15 UTC

All parents signed up for the 3-way conference...at least in 3C

Relationships between school and home were made stronger.

2024-02-12 08:53:28 UTC

gherbison — 2024-02-12 08:53:31 UTC

Setting attainable goals for the student.

Positive feedback from parents

2024-02-12 08:53:35 UTC

great communication with the parents, went really smooth

2024-02-12 08:53:47 UTC

ms Amanat - EAL and HRTs could have one session for a child's progress; if we could plan and schedule on meet for a student

2024-02-12 08:53:50 UTC

Great attendance, parents were positive, seemed to understand MAP reports a little better. Overall very positive!

2024-02-12 08:53:51 UTC

Ms Aida

2024-02-12 08:54:00 UTC

It was successful as I show evidence to the parents and the video shows the students progression.

Long day, some meetings run over time, some parents were not on time

2024-02-12 08:54:01 UTC

Good opportunity for parents to get feedback on their child progress

2024-02-12 08:54:06 UTC

2024-02-12 08:54:22 UTC

Parents wanting to talk about Learning/Social-emotional Support or other subjects with the homeroom teacher, even when we ask them to make a seperate appointment with them.

2024-02-12 08:54:30 UTC

Agree with Gary, very positive feedback from parents and students!

ZOOM

2024-02-12 08:54:43 UTC

Internet challenges with Zoom links/ Trying manage time between in-person and Zoom Meetings./Some students were not fully engaged during the meeting with their parent/teacher

2024-02-12 08:55:09 UTC

positive feedback from some parents.

Last minute changes from Zoom to in person and vice versa - Parents messaged to change on Seesaw. A cut off time would be great to help teachers to organize themselves.

2024-02-12 08:55:15 UTC

Not in sync

MsLeighP — 2024-02-12 08:55:17 UTC

Some teachers had breaks at different times which made it hard for things like translations to be organised.

We discussed students' goals and their progress, with a focus on literacy and numeracy.

2024-02-12 08:55:18 UTC

Some parents didn’t show even they signed up

2024-02-12 08:55:37 UTC

showed child's growth

2024-02-12 08:55:40 UTC

Ms Alla

2024-02-12 08:55:44 UTC

It was great. Grade 1 students demonstrate show how they are starting to read and speak to their parents. One of the new students who recently started, Zarah, has shown a big progress.

appointment changes/cancelations that weren't communicated in advance

2024-02-12 08:55:44 UTC

both parents and teachers showed they are caring and it is important for kids to see it

2024-02-12 08:55:45 UTC

adhere to the schedule

2024-02-12 08:55:53 UTC

Visual Arts

2024-02-12 08:55:53 UTC

Students were proud to share their success with their parents

Hard work

2024-02-12 08:55:56 UTC

It's a long day with a lot of conversations.

I do believe the benefits outweigh the challenges by far though.

Zoom and In Person session separated - Eg. zoom morning - In person afternoon.

2024-02-12 08:56:06 UTC

Internet issues

2024-02-12 08:56:14 UTC

gherbison — 2024-02-12 08:56:19 UTC

changing conference times during the day directly on the calendar link

Positive feedback

2024-02-12 08:56:19 UTC

By far most parents were super positive.

One tracking document

MsLeighP — 2024-02-12 08:56:28 UTC

It would be good if we could use a spreadsheet for teachers use to track as it would be easy to collect data

ms Amanat - All parties (chidren, teachers, parents) found out about thenext steps and goals for the rest of the year

2024-02-12 08:56:34 UTC

2024-02-12 08:56:37 UTC

Do not give the option of Zoom. If parents are unable to meet on the day, provide an alternative option. Zoom meetings are very impersonal.

2024-02-12 08:56:40 UTC

Looking into the students' short-term, long-term goals that was set by themselves

The number of parents to sign up and attendance

2024-02-12 08:56:44 UTC

was surprised to see so many involved and interested fathers especially

2024-02-12 08:56:48 UTC

Конференция прошла хорошо, но на ней было много родителей по моему предмету. Было приятно познакомиться с новыми родителями.

2024-02-12 08:56:53 UTC

predictions for next map tests, upcoming future activities

2024-02-12 08:56:54 UTC

Good opportunity to see parents relationships with children

2024-02-12 08:57:01 UTC

Shy

2024-02-12 08:57:09 UTC

some children were quite shy and couldn't open up in front of their parents

2024-02-12 08:57:10 UTC

No Zoom please...

Mr Matt & Ms Arai

mblake54 — 2024-02-12 08:57:10 UTC

20 / 20 attendance.

Positive relationships.

Made areas of concern clear to parents, where applicable.

Parents were able to ask questions / raise any concerns.

Able to explain philosophy on home learning tasks.

time to share tips to help at home

2024-02-12 08:57:12 UTC

Parents were generally happy to hear about their child's progress and to develop an action plan for the future.

2024-02-12 08:57:13 UTC

it is very helpful for kids

2024-02-12 08:57:14 UTC

Can teachers please see parent feedback about 3-way conferences?

bgrizzle — 2024-02-12 08:57:15 UTC

2024-02-12 08:57:17 UTC

Positive feedback from parents about the children attitude toward the subject.

No zoom option

MsLeighP — 2024-02-12 08:57:24 UTC

Now that we are not in COVID it should be mandatory for parents to come to school for conferences.

some parents were stressed about map tests results

2024-02-12 08:57:29 UTC

2024-02-12 08:57:42 UTC

Zoom wasn't always working well

Некоторый дети были застечневыми перед своими родителями.

2024-02-12 08:58:00 UTC

Student involvement

2024-02-12 08:58:16 UTC

Students prepared their progress, successes and goals with their parents.

It increased the students' agency - not only in the conference, but in their learning / goal setting in general.

(sharing it with their parents made it more important for the students!)

2024-02-12 08:58:23 UTC

All the registered students showed up.

some parents changed last minute from in person to zoom

2024-02-12 08:58:28 UTC

2024-02-12 08:58:30 UTC

Great interest from parents that attend the 3 Ways Conference.

Parents are impressed by their children progress.

Parents awareness

2024-02-12 08:58:38 UTC

Some parents tried to use this time to give feedback to a teacher or discuss a curriculum and hometasks.

morning in person meetings, and zoom in the afternoon from home

2024-02-12 08:58:57 UTC

Mr Matt & Ms Arai

mblake54 — 2024-02-12 08:59:14 UTC

MAP testing - need to understand that not results not the most important thing in the world.

Zoom connections not great.

Visual Arts

2024-02-12 08:59:16 UTC

Most parents were very positive and supportive!

2024-02-12 08:59:29 UTC

Parents who turned up without signing up. It leads to the lack of preparation for their children feedback.

2024-02-12 08:59:53 UTC

children felt their further responsibilities about their academic productivity

2024-02-12 09:00:19 UTC

Students who came with the parents are open-minded to receive their feedbacks.

Те же родители записались, что и всегда, а новые родители жаловались, что не могут записаться.

Mr Matt and Miss Arai

mblake54 — 2024-02-12 09:00:45 UTC

Would prefer for parents to come to school.

I would do 18 minutes on / 2 minute break for timings. (I appreciate I'm in a minority of one on this.)

Some parents do not arrive to meetings on time, and then they ask to reschedule to another day.

2024-02-12 09:00:50 UTC

Mr Matt and Miss Arai

mblake54 — 2024-02-12 09:01:32 UTC

The things we see as important are not always what parents see as important. And vice versa.

gherbison — 2024-02-12 09:02:09 UTC

I think it is time that the use of zoom is re evaluated.

2024-02-12 09:02:37 UTC

Students take responsibility to set and plan to achieve their goals.

Parents were proud of their kids’ success. They were able to see the progress they made during the term

2024-02-12 09:02:41 UTC

Visual Arts

2024-02-12 09:03:28 UTC

We discussed goals and improvement of some ATL skills.
