Student-Led Conferences

Aligned with the provincial focus on reflective goal-setting, our annual student-led sharing sessions are March 1 and 2 and will be paired with our March midyear learning report, available March 1 on WolfNet. This midyear report will include a homeroom teacher comment and a student reflection and for intermediate grades, it will include letter grades (grades 4-6) or percentages (grade 7) as well. For all grades, the report is both a snapshot of the student’s learning progress and a way for students to reflect on the goals they set earlier this year. It is a thoughtful process that gives students ownership of their learning; the teacher’s role is to coach and support each child to be more self-reliant and aware of their learning strengths, challenges and goals. At WPGA, we have long implemented the philosophy imbedded in the new curriculum, continually helping students set realistic goals for themselves and encouraging thoughtful reflection to enhance learning and comprehension.
