We would like to remind you that the Secondary Three-way Conferences with subject teachers are happening on 25 and 28 November via Zoom, with each conference lasting 5 minutes. Appointments can still be made using the ESF app, following these instructions. The booking system will close on Monday, 18 November at 5:00 pm.
Students will be expected to participate in the conferences from home. Some Year 13 students may be invited to remain on campus to carry out practical work that is essential for the IB Diploma. They will be expected to participate in their conferences, via Zoom, from school.
Please be reminded lessons will finish for Secondary Students at 12.20pm on the days of the conferences. The schedule will be as follows:
There will be no Discovery Time on these days.
The conversation during the appointments will focus on:
-
Where am I going? Feedback that clarifies the learning intentions and success criteria that are being used in lessons.
- How am I going? Feedback that ensures the student knows how they are progressing in relation to the learning intention. This should include explicit reference to current assessment/attainment grades in relation to expected outcomes.
-
Where to next? Suggesting the steps needed to address the gap between their learning and the intended outcome. This could also be ‘Even Better If…’ ideas if the students are meeting or exceeding expectations.
- Questions – An opportunity for parents/students to ask further questions and address any concerns.
We kindly request that you check your chosen sessions and ensure you arrive on time to enable you to maximise your time with each teacher.
You will receive an automated reminder notice about your scheduled time the day before your meeting. Instructions on how to access the Zoom meeting can be found via the slideshow in this link.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation. If you have any questions please out berryk2@dc.edu.hk.
