Conferences
I have heard several of you talking about the excitement around visiting with families. Here is the preparing guide that Kenneth created that walks through a lot of the logistics of the virtual conference.
As you plan as a team, you will also want to talk about what information you’ll be sharing for conferences. This is a great opportunity to hear a little bit more about their stories and share about some of the assets of the students.
You will not have a data sheet printed from the office this year; this is intentional as Fastbridge is cautioning use of the data since it was not normed for the situation we had last spring. Therefore, please do not share national percentiles with families, as they are unlikely to paint an accurate picture of the student’s academics. I know that you have seen a lot of growth even since fall, and we do want to share how students are doing academically (as well as socially). Here are some ideas of things you could share:
Progress monitoring information (growth)
Formative assessment data (could even be anecdotal)
Reading behaviors or goals (instructional goals)
Skills or things you are working on and where you are headed (or where we want them to be in this grade level)
You also might share ideas for reading at home (encourage reading at home).
If you have questions about what to share or how to share it, please reach out to Libby as she is more than happy to brainstorm.
