Student Led Conferences 2019 – Please sign up!

Dear Parents,

Student Led Conferences will take place at the EC Villa in Kilchberg and at the Waedenswil Lower School Campus on Thursday, March 28th. On this day, normal school is suspended.

A unique feature of the Student Led Conference is that the students themselves guide their parents through a series of activity and sharing stations both in the homeroom and in single subject areas. All students will have been prepared for this experiences, and at many stations, the teacher will have provided prompts and questions for you to ask your child about their learning in order to open up deeper reflection and conversation. All curriculum areas will be explored.

Students are free to communicate in English or in any other language that is significant to them and to you. In this conference, the student’s voice is pre-eminent. The teachers will be in attendance, but very much in the background and do not engage in discussion. This is the time for your child to take on an authentic leadership role and to take you on an exciting journey of their learning.

Please sign up for one of the time blocks on the class sign up sheet. Expect to spend approximately 40 minutes in your child’s homeroom and a further 40 minutes visiting single subject areas. You may do this in any order that you and your child wish within the time block you have chosen.

We look forward to welcoming you and your child on this day.

Please also note, on this day there will be no drop-off child care provision.

Please type your name and your child’s into one of the available time slots in this document.
