Parents please be respectful of the 10 minute allotment time.

Thanks you J

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
