Kindergarten – Gr. 8 interviews

This reporting period Gateway will be communicating achievement through student led Interviews.

The benefits of student led interviews:

  • Increase student accountability and autonomy concerning academics and their habits of work and learning.
  • Students increase ownership in their learning – it’s about them; it is their learning vs. “being done to them or talked about”.
  • Help students accept and show responsibility for their own learning.
  • Students reflect on their own learning and/or behavior.
  • Students set goals.
  • Students develop speaking & presenting skills.

Your child will discuss their LEARNING

            -Tied to learning goals from the program of studies.

            -Tied to storyline/throughline(s).

It will include artifacts or demonstrations in Math, Science, Social & LA
