Student-Led Conferences

We marvelled at reflection, responsibility and independence, as teachers sat back, parents leaned in, and children took charge of assessment in the PYP!

With parents in tow, students from Early Years 1 to Grade 5 conducted conferences about their growth as learners. They shared  portfolios, as well as authentic inquiry experiences from daily life at school; math investigations, writing activities, coding, blogging, game skills and play spaces. Elementary was buzzing with proud children sharing what it means to be an ever-improving learner.

Our wonderful parents listened, asked questions, and affirmed their child’s reflections. Our teachers gained further insight into their students’ developing knowledge, understandings, skills and attitudes.
