The conferences were eye opening for all of us. The students realized how much they are learning and how their choice to work on or not work on their learning habits (responsibility, respect, perseverance and collaboration) affects how much they acquire. The parents were amazed at how much their child knows and at the method. I was surprised at how well some students can reflect upon their learning.
Dana it looks like you are making excellent strides to being abe to make learning tangible and student-centered. I love the idea of student-led conferences. I also enjoy those “learning habits” because they are values that will carry those students far. Could you please share resources like the “guiding sheet” here or on FB?
For those following Dana in India, I got this nice follow-up post to the above:
Hi Ben,
Another day of conferences and many happy students and parents. So many parents commented on how logical this way of teaching is, how it makes sense. They were so surprised at how much they’re reading in French (the beginners have explained how they started at level aa in Reading A-Z and are now at C or D). And so many kids say that they’re understanding so much more when I speak and they’re proud of that and their reading.
I also explained the reasoning behind the calendar and weather routine. I explained that I’d rather the kids learn numbers, months, days, etc in an authentic way rather than memorizing lists, and they all agreed. I told them that we do temperature, RealFeel temps and humidity index so they learn their numbers. And I told them I’d add in the AQI after Divali and they can practice big numbers! Lol, sort-of
You’ve developed great stuff, Ben!
I’m so curious about the week-long institutes. When you get more organized, let me know!
Namaste,
Dana
Fantastic and congrats Dana, now that is SOME act to follow!
Can you link us to the guiding sheet and any of the other docs that you use in conferences – I think they might be helpful for Ts that need documentation at confs and for their admin!
Carry on!
I shared that document with Ben. Ben, if you’d like me to convert it to a Word Doc so you could add it here, just let me know.
Or is there another way to share it?
Yeah Dana I still have it – jammed queue. So glad you are sharing it here.
And yes, I felt the pressure in the beginning for sure! I’m feeling more comfortable now but I don’t think of Ben’s expertise versus my novice performance. I think of him as my mentor and it’s much easier. 😀
Hi all! Here’s the link to the document I used to guide my students for SLCs/PTSCs:
