PTSC (Parent-Teacher-Student Conference)

In a few short weeks, Orchard Primary will host the second Parent – Teacher – Student – Conference (PTSC). The purpose of this conference, as outlined in the letter that was sent home today, is to share information between the parent, teacher and the student regarding student learning.

Students will be reflecting on the goals they set earlier in the year. It will also involve teachers and students framing discussions around three aspects; successes, challenges and goals for the rest of the year.

Additionally, students will take the lead by presenting their work to their parents in various formats. The teacher will take a back step, allowing the students time to share their successes, but also what areas still remains a challenge for them. Of course, the teacher will facilitate and support the discussion as necessary.

I want to thank the teachers and students for their efforts in preparing for this all-important occasion to further develop the triangular relationship between parent, teacher and student.
